1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to define the requirements, delivery, and set up for the replacement Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Virtual Paint Simulation (VPS) trainer and associated labs. Eight VPS trainers (one per location) will be procured and delivered to include all COTS documentation to the following Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) Learning Site locations: Norfolk, Whidbey Island, Atsugi, Lemoore, Oceana, North Island, Jacksonville, and New River.

2.0 Background

The five existing VPS trainers were built in 2014 (1st generation) with Virtual Reality (VR) technology. VPS eliminates hazardous emissions and waste, which provides both safety and environmental benefits. Other advantages to VPS include sustainable training and costs savings, including major reductions in training material expenses, reduced preparation, and clean-up times. Additionally, it reduces risks to trainers and trainees. The existing devices have reached end-of-life with recurring failures and hard to obtain sustainment parts.

The VPS provides a better and easier way to provide initial training in aircraft painting. It is where trainees are first introduced to aircraft painting which provides immediate results and precise feedback; repetitive practice to improve motor skills; refining and improving techniques of experienced painters; and range of training scenarios to suit different environments. The VPS syllabus provides increased training value to include ability for students to optimize set-up and spray techniques, improved film thickness consistency, improved transfer efficiencies, and reduced rework times and costs.

3.0 Scope

This SOW describes the tasks and product requirements for the replacement VPS systems that will be delivered to the CNATT Learning Sites.
