STE Squad Training

Integrates One World Terrain, Training Simulation Software and Training Management Tools into one Tool used by HUD.

Description: STE Squad Capability will allow for the rapid conduct and repetition of squad-level training in a Mixed Reality (MR) based synthetic environment; will enable training on common battle drills and provide a realistic simulation of the operational environment; and will permit training scenarios to be quickly and easily developed and modified by Warfighters to suit specific training requirements. STE Squad Capability will capture performance data and provide an After Action Review (AAR) capability where performance data and replays of training exercises will be used to support rapid improvement of soldier performance.

Capabilities

• Training Simulation Software (TSS) is the core simulation of the STE that acts as the source of, and provides synthetic representations of, the military capabilities and operational environment necessary to support collective training.

• Training Management Tool (TMT) is the capability that enables units to quickly plan collective training events, prepare training events; execute and monitor events, and assess event results.

• One World Terrain (OWT) is a 3D global terrain capability and associated information services that supports the virtual replication of the physical Earth and complexities of the operational environment (OE) in support of training in support of the STE.

Agreement using OTA

• An Agreement using Other Transaction Authority (OTA) is an acquisition instrument which allows agencies to enter into transactions “other than” standard Government contracts, grants and cooperative agreements

• Agreements are not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), DoD FAR Supplement (DFARS) and many other statutes and regulations associated with Federal Government contracting

• Agreements provide a common sense, flexible, efficient and user-friendly way of linking Government buyers and commercial sellers of advanced technologies

What is a Non-traditional Defense Contractor?

• An entity that currently is not performing and has not performed, for at least one year preceding the issuance of a Request for White Papers (RWP) by the Government, any contract or subcontract for the DoD that is subject to full coverage under the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS)

• All small businesses are considered Non-traditional

Significant Participation

• Determined on a project basis and based on the importance of the NTDC contribution to the overall execution or outcome of the proposed project

• Examples of Significant Participation:

‒ Supplying a key technology, facility or unique capability

‒ Causing a material and quantifiable reduction in the project cost or schedule

‒ Causing a measurable increase in the performance of the prototype

‒ Value-added analysis not based on percentage of project work or value

Types of Cost Sharing (if required)

• Cash: Outlays of funds to perform the OTA project

‒ Includes labor, materials, new equipment, subcontractor effort

‒ Sources include new IR&D funds, profit or fee from another contract, overhead or capital equipment expense pool

• In-Kind: Reasonable value of equipment, materials or other property used in performance of the OTA project
