Background:

A Simulation Host and Image Generator is required to host the embedded trainer simulation and provide corresponding graphics within a simulated environment. Simulation Host and Image Generator must interface with each other as well as the Ground Control Station using DIS Protocol. The Simulation Host allows a user to create, edit, and run a simulated scenario containing multiple entities within the Ground Control Station. The Image Generator is responsible for the synthetic virtual environment and the 3D models within. Lack of an Image Generator will result in an unusable simulation that has an entities positional information being relayed to the synthetic virtual environment, with no way to view the object, terrain, or any other corresponding visual effect.

Due to the resource taxing nature of the software, this embedded trainer must run on high-performance hardware. The portable nature of the Ground Control Station and the limited space available necessitates a laptop as the hardware choice for hosting this software.

Performance Requirements:

The contractor shall provide engineering services required to complete the Embedded Trainer in support of the MQ-1C Block 25 – M aircraft using identified components from the STE. Develop a Gray Eagle simulation that will function on the GEMMI ground control system as well as on PCs and can obtain incremental accreditation from the Directorate of Simulation over the period of performance. (PWS 2.3.2)

a. The Embedded Trainer must use the following hardware and software components. (PWS 2.4.1.1)

i. Contract award Evaluation Analysis Document to determine and mitigate any unknown risk to EUAS and the contractor at time of award. Any risk identified will be made aware to EUAS and mitigation plan developed in partnership with EUAS.

ii. A generic 6 DOF aircraft model.

iii. The Gray Eagle Human-Machine Interface (HMI) developed by Tektonux

iv. Virtual Battle Space 4 (VBS4)

v. One World Terrain (OWT)
