A Virtual Japan baseline J6 Tactical Lab was installed at the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) Dahlgren, which utilizes computers and fabricated consoles to provide a trainer that simulates realistic ship consoles in the Combat Information Center (CIC) for the purpose of school house training. The Virtual Tactical Lab will replace the current Tactical Training equipment, which is very difficult to schedule and execute in a timely manner.

The tactical training equipment that Japan trains on currently is not an exact replication of the equipment used in the Japanese Combat Information Center (CIC). This scenario is not ideal for a training environment and often leads to a discontinuity of learning down the road. The required equipment is necessary so that students are provided an opportunity to train on a realistic

NAVSUPINST 4200.85D, Encl (1) 2 of 3 replication of equipment onboard and mimic the tactical environment that will be experienced onboard during naval operations.

This vendor provides the required Combat Display System (CDS) twenty-four inch (24”) LED multi-touch monitors for the mock consoles that mimic the exact installation and setup as they appear in the J6 console with three (3) twenty-four inch (24”) LED multi-touch monitors per console. The highly specialized console is programed to mimic the current onboard program functionality and when installed in the Virtual Tactical Lab, will provide students with realistic training necessary to be proficient with onboard consoles.

Market research was conducted and it was identified that multiple vendors on GSA could provide twenty-four inch (24”) LED multi-touch monitors, however, none of the GSA vendors could meet the requirement of this procurement package. The monitors provided by One World Touch LLC include the Ten Point Projected Capacitive Touch Screen USB Interface overlay which is required in order to be compatible with the J6 Tactical Lab for operational functionality.

One World Touch LLC is the manufacturer of these monitors and there are no authorized resellers for the monitors.

X The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

X The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

These required monitors for the J6 Tactical Lab are currently in operational use onboard Japanese naval vessels in the Combat Information Center (CIC). The monitors reside in the onboard consoles.

These monitors physically mount to the console with a specific bolt pattern and are secured to the console mounting brackets to ensure the exact fixed location. Each console requires three touch screen monitors installed and are required for the J6 baseline consoles. The onboard consoles have recently been duplicated and mock consoles have been built for training purposes. These monitors will be installed into the mock console and will affix to the mock console bracket to perform realistic training as experienced onboard.

X A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is

The manufacturer One World Touch LLC is the only vendor that offers the Ten Point Projected Capacitive Touch Screen USB Interface overlay for the twenty-four inch (24”) LED multi-touch monitors and the manufacturer has no authorized resellers for this equipment in the commercial marketplace.
