1. General Requirements:

a. 56TRS is seeking to acquire a dual purpose flight and aerospace physiology training unclassified F-35 simulator. This device will be able to control Environics’ ROBD device, have real world functioning switches as opposed to digital representation of switches, and will display and annunciate F-35 ICAWs.

2. Functional Requirements:

a. The simulator must be unclassified

b. The simulator must accurately replicate the flight dynamics and performance of an

F-35

c. The simulator must feature a functional cockpit with functional switchology vs display only or digital representation only type of switches

d. The simulator must include a high-fidelity visual system with mixed reality capabilities

e. The simulator software must be able to control Environics’ ROBD device for hypoxia familiarization training;

f. The simulator software must have the ability to control blood oxygen saturation monitoring devices

g. The simulator must be able to accommodate an aircrew visual monitoring camera

h. At a minimum, the simulator software must be capable of displaying and/or annunciating the following ICAWs: BOS override, IPP fail, BOS on, CABIN PRESS, OXYGEN CRITICAL, BOS LO, BOS ON, BOS OVERRIDE, OXY FLOW DEGD, and PBA FAIL

i. The simulator must have the ability to support a head tracking device capable of producing off boresight visuals of HMD symbology

j. The simulator and simulator software must produce DAS and NVC HMD visuals for night vision training, to include a night vision refueling training scenario

k. The simulator software must be capable of operating in unclassified status while maintain the ability to display and/or annunciate the following minimum ICAWS from the same computer: ICAWs: BOS override, IPP fail, BOS on, CABIN PRESS, OXYGEN CRITICAL, BOS LO, BOS ON, BOS OVERRIDE, OXY FLOW DEGD, and PBA FAIL

l. Simulator software must display when the BOS switch is activated

3. Simulator must have green colored functional BOS switch

4. Capable of adding PIC connection switch

3. Technical Requirements:

a. (5) 75inch 4k displays

b. (1) cockpit hardware no wider than 44 inches and no longer than 69 inches and no higher than 60inches.

c. Front panel with touch screen PCDs size of 20” x 8”
