SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION, BACKGROUND,

AND OBJECTIVE

1.1 Introduction

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is undertaking a critical modernization of its rotary-wing training infrastructure to support the MH-60T fleet growth and to enhance aircrew and rear-crew operational readiness.

The Contractor shall provide the design, fabrication, delivery, installation, and support of three advanced training devices:

• One (1) MH-60T Level 7 Flight Training Device (FTD): A high-fidelity fixed-base simulator replicating the MH-60T cockpit, avionics, and mission systems for pilot and aircrew training.

• One (1) Hoist Mission Training System (HMTS): A full-size, immersive, mixed-reality hoist trainer for rear-crew Search and Rescue (SAR) and hoist operations training.

• One (1) Portable Hoist Mission Training System (P-HMTS): A transportable, modular hoist trainer enabling mobile and distributed SAR/hoist training.

The Contractor will be responsible for the MH-60T Level 7 FTD and for managing the delivery and integration of the HMTS and P-HMTS. They will be responsible for all aspects of program management, device integration, delivery, installation, acceptance testing, documentation, training, and warranties (standard and or extended warranties).

All devices will be delivered and installed at the USCG Aviation Training Center (ATC) in Mobile, AL.

1.2 Background

The USCG operates the MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter as its primary medium-range recovery (MRR) platform for search and rescue (SAR), law enforcement, homeland security, and disaster response missions. Historically, USCG aircrew training has relied on a combination of classroom instruction, part-task trainers, and operational flight time. While these methods provide valuable experience, they are limited in their ability to safely and cost-effectively replicate the full range of mission scenarios, emergency procedures, and complex SAR operations encountered in the field.

To address these challenges, the USCG has previously invested in fixed-base flight simulators and procedural trainers. However, the current training infrastructure does not fully meet the evolving needs of the MH-60T fleet, particularly in the areas of rear-crew hoist/SAR training and distributed/mobile training capability.

1.3 Program Objective

The Contractor shall design, fabricate, deliver, install, integrate, test, and support three (3) advanced training devices that collectively provide comprehensive, high-fidelity training for MH-60T pilots, aircrew, and rescue swimmers. These devices will enhance USCG operational readiness by enabling safe, repeatable, and realistic training for a full spectrum of mission scenarios. The Contractor shall ensure that all devices are interoperable, maintainable, and compliant with current USCG selected Security and Privacy Controls and operational requirements. The devices will be provided with the technical documentation referenced in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) list (Table 1).

SECTION 2: Detailed Tasks and Requirements The Contractor shall provide all personnel, labor, materials, and equipment, required to design, fabricate, deliver, install, integrate, test, and support a MH-60T Level 7 FTD, a Hoist Mission Training System (HMTS), and a Portable Hoist Mission Training System (P-HMTS) for the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

The Contractor shall also provide all required logistics support, technical documentation, training, warranty, and program management services as specified herein.

The Contractor shall deliver, install, and integrate all three (3) devices at the designated USCG site(s) to ensure they are fully operational, tested, and accepted. Each deliverable below corresponds to a specific Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) for pricing and invoicing purposes.

The Contractor shall design all systems to support future expansion, including the addition of new training devices or software modules.

2.1 MH-60T Level 7 Flight Training Device (FTD) (CLIN 0001)

Scope: The Government intends to provide a spare non-operational MH-60T aircraft hull to serve as the physical reference and framework for the FTD. The Contractor shall design and build one (1) fixed-site, high-fidelity simulator replicating the MH-60T cockpit, avionics, and mission systems.

Requirements: The device shall be designed, manufactured, and tested to meet or exceed the technical criteria of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 14 CFR Part 60 for a Level 7 Flight Training Device standards. These standards shall serve as the objective technical baseline for the device’s fidelity and performance. The U.S. Coast Guard, as a public aircraft operator, will serve as the sole evaluating and self-certifying authority. The device must also as well as support all relevant training scenarios for pilot and aircrew (normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures, instrument flight, and mission scenarios). The device shall replicate the MH-60T cockpit, avionics, and mission systems and include full cockpit controls, switches, indicators, and panels “switchology” as per the current USCG MH-60T configuration, a high-fidelity visual system that is night vision goggle (NVG) compatible, and a fully functional instructor/operator station (IOS). The system shall be maintainable and upgradable. (Note: See fidelity requirements in Section 2.1.1-2.1.8)

Form, Fit and Function: The Contractor may utilize replicated hardware and rehosted software provided all components achieve full functional and physical equivalence to the H- 60 aircraft avionics and parts. All replicated equipment must provide a one-for-one match in tactile feedback, visual appearance, and operational logic to the original aircraft equipment.

Any rehosted software must execute with the same latency, fidelity, and response characteristics as the flight-certified version, ensuring the pilots interface is indistinguishable from the actual aircraft environment.

2.1.1 Cockpit Replication and Structure

a. The Government intends to make available one (1) retired, non-operational MH-60T helicopter fuselage, which the Contractor shall use as the structural basis for the FTD cockpit to ensure the highest possible physical fidelity.

b. The FTD shall be equipped with physical replicas of the pilot and copilot stabilator check mirrors. The reflection in each mirror shall be a simulated image of the aircraft's stabilator, achieved by integrating small, high-resolution display screens.

2.1.2 Flight Dynamics and Motion Systems

a. The FTD shall be equipped with a digital, 4-channel electric control loading system (CLS) utilizing Moog E-series or equal high-performance electric actuators. The CLS must be fully digital, electric, provide accurate and rapid force feedback, deliver a minimum continuous force of 50 lbs. per channel, and integrate with simulator software using standard communication protocols. Any proposed equal product must meet or exceed the performance, reliability, and integration capabilities of the Moog E-series actuators.

b. The cockpit assembly shall be mounted on a compact, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), high-fidelity, six-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DOF) electric motion platform utilizing an all-electric (electromechanical) hexapod architecture. The entire motion system must be capable of operating within the facility footprint specified in the Installation Facility Interface Control Document (ICD, Enclosure 2). The platform must be capable of high-frequency vibration cueing up to at least 30 Hz, and provide smooth, low-latency motion cueing across all translational (heave, surge, sway) and rotational (pitch, roll, yaw) axes.

Any proposed equal motion platform must meet or exceed the specified frequency response, reliability, and integration requirements. The motion base must be governed by a dedicated, standalone digital motion controller cabinet that interfaces directly with the host simulation computer via standard Ethernet protocols (UDP/TCP).

c. To ensure minimal maintenance and eliminate hazards associated with hydraulic fluid, the system must utilize high-response electric linear actuators. For personnel safety and equipment protection, the system must include integrated hardware and software fail-safes, including fail-safe mechanical braking on all actuators, absolute position feedback sensors, mechanical over-travel stops, and an automated, gravity-assisted "return-to-home" or settle function in the event of total power loss or emergency stop activation.

2.1.3 Visual and Display Systems

a. The FTD shall be equipped with a Q4 Services SupraVue® MAX or equal collimated visual display system, providing a minimum field of view of 200 degrees horizontal by 60 degree vertical. The visual display system must utilize a continuous, monolithic vacuum-formed metalized film mirror paired with a seamless overhead back-projection screen to eliminate parallax errors and provide true depth perception for a multi-crew cockpit. The system must deliver uninterrupted Out-The-Window (OTW) imagery focused at optical infinity, free of physical seams, joints, or noticeable optical distortions in the primary viewing areas. The display framework must be constructed from ultra-lightweight composite materials optimized for direct integration onto a 6-DOF motion platform without negatively impacting the motion system’s payload capacity or center of gravity.

The visual display system shall be paired with Norxe P-series or equal projectors, capable of delivering high-resolution, high-brightness imagery with minimal latency to ensure accurate, real-time visual cueing during all phases of simulator operation.

b. The FTD shall also be equipped with a Mixed Reality (MR) system utilizing the latest generation Varjo Extended Reality (XR) series or equal professional headsets for Government/offline use. The MR system must be fully functional on an air-gapped network and support rapid system calibration and alignment procedures. The headset must be professional-grade, capable of high-fidelity, low-latency video pass-through mixed reality, and feature ultra-high-resolution displays providing a minimum of 40 Pixels Per Degree (PPD) in the central viewing area to ensure the legibility of highly detailed virtual cockpit instrumentation and physical Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs). The system must utilize dual front-facing cameras with active depth-sensing technology to seamlessly composite the virtual flight environment with physical cockpit elements, providing real-time depth awareness and dynamic occlusion so the pilot can naturally see their hands, flight controls, and EFB layered over the virtual world. The headset must also integrate native, high-frequency eye-tracking technology to support dynamic foveated rendering, maximizing graphical fidelity where the user is looking while optimizing host computer performance. All components must be robust to withstand operational stresses associated with frequent motion platform movements, and any proposed equal MR system must meet or exceed the specified optical quality, integration, and durability requirements.

c. FTD Visual System Operating Modes: The FTD shall be designed to support two distinct, instructor-selectable visual training modes. The domed collimated display and the mixed reality (MR) headset will not be utilized concurrently by the same pilot. The system architecture must allow for seamless transition between the following modes:

1. Mode 1: Collimated Display Mode. This is the primary mode for core flight training, including aircraft checklists, normal and emergency procedures, and instrument flight rules (IFR) training. In this mode, the pilot utilize only the physical out-the-window (OTW) collimated dome display.

2. Mode 2: Mixed Reality (MR) Mode. This mode is reserved for tactical and high-workload operational training requiring an expanded Field of View (FOV) and enhanced depth perception, such as SAR search patterns, vertical reference/hoist operations, and Confined Area Landings (CALs). In this mode, the pilot utilizes the MR headset to view the simulated external environment superimposed over the physical cockpit.

d. Chin Window Visual Requirements: Physical chin windows are required as part of the structural cockpit replication. The visual display requirements for these windows are dependent on the selected operating mode as follows:

1. Collimated display mode: No active visual projection or display is required through the chin windows. They may remain unprojected/blank during this mode.

2. Mixed Reality (MR) mode: Visual imagery must be fully rendered through the chin windows. The MR headset must dynamically superimpose the virtual environment over the physical chin window openings to support down-and-in chin-window visibility (e.g., during hoists and confined area landings).

2.1.4 Image Generator and Special Visual Effects

a. The FTD shall incorporate a high-performance, COTS GPU-based image generator (IG), such as Aechelon Nucleus or equal, capable of real-time, multi-channel, and multi-spectral rendering. The IG must ingest, process, and render global-scale geospatial databases – including high-resolution satellite imagery, elevation data, and 3D cultural models, with continuous Level of Detail (LOD) management to ensure smooth transitions without visual artifacts. The visual database must include all USCG Air Stations as high-fidelity airfields. Enclosure (3) provides a list of the required USCG Air Stations and their correlating airfields. The following further describes the definition of ‘high fidelity’ airfield:

1. At a minimum, this includes: Accurate Runway and Taxiway Placement: All runways, taxiways, and parking areas must be accurately placed and oriented, with correct markings, lighting (including approach lighting systems), and signage. Geospecific 3D Models: All significant airfield structures (e.g., hangars, terminals, control towers, and unique/prominent buildings on or adjacent to the airfield) must be modeled with realistic, geospecific textures. Realistic Terrain and Environment: The immediate surrounding terrain must be realistically modeled with appropriate textures, vegetation, and cultural lighting. Dynamic Elements: The model must support dynamic environmental effects, including weather (rain, fog, snow), time of day, and appropriate lighting. The contractor's proposed solution must be capable of generating a visual scene that is immediately recognizable to a pilot familiar with the airfield and is suitable for conducting all required training tasks, including circling approaches, visual patterns, and ground operations.

b. The IG must generate OTW visuals and physics-based sensor simulations (Electro- Optical, Infrared/FLIR, Night Vision Goggles, Synthetic Aperture Radar) from a single, unified database to ensure absolute correlation and eliminate discrepancies. Advanced visual effects must include dynamic brownout/whiteout modeling, rotor wash airflow modeling on surfaces, and real-time CFD airflow modeling for wind interaction, weather transitions, and environmental lighting.

c. The IG must support real-time distortion correction and edge-blending for collimated dome projections, as well as low-latency, high-frame-rate outputs for mixed reality headsets. The projector visual display system shall include an integrated, automated image alignment and color/brightness balancing system (auto-alignment system). Any proposed equal IG must meet or exceed the specified fidelity, correlation, integration, and performance requirements.

2.1.5 Avionics and Systems Integration

a. The FTD's Military-Standard (MIL-STD)-1553B and Aeronautical Radio, INC (ARINC) 429 data bus architectures shall be implemented as physically separate, external buses managed by dedicated hardware with accessible breakout panels.
