STATEMENT OF WORK

Procurement Sensitive Information See FAR 3.104 1

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Submarine Bridge Trainer (SBT) allows a full bridge party to complete exercises to navigate, pilot, and moor the boat to and from a pier while interacting with a complex visual and auditory environment with all of the relevant ship sensors and systems. The crew members being trained are those who man the sail and the control room during surfaced events. The trainer is a near life-size mock-up of the front-end of a generic submarine sail, surrounded by a 360-degree horizontal and a 70-degree vertical dynamic visual simulation of imagery and 16 channels of 3D sound with own-ship dynamics provided by Navy-certified hydrodynamic models. Realistic control rooms for the 688-class and Virginia-class submarines have been constructed and provide the ship systems (including commercial and military radar simulations) and the dual periscopes needed for surfaced events.
