About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking industry solutions for Remote Simulator Instruction (RSI) services to support its Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) program. The government is interested in exploring options to increase pilot production output, production efficiency, and pipeline modernization through remote simulator training. The solution should accommodate the use of current UPT simulators and commercial internet, integrating with existing dome-style and single-screen visual systems. The government is requesting information on innovative technology that can remain flexible and incorporate new advancements, as well as anticipated timelines for completion. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are due by 4:00 pm CST on May 13, 2024, and the government may use the responses to determine industry capability, commerciality of the service, and potential for small business participation.
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business designation. The government is contemplating an initial small-scale effort involving 4 dome-style simulators and 5 remote instructor stations, but no further details on potential award values or budget ranges were provided. The RFI is a market research exercise, and the government is under no obligation to award a contract based on the information received.
Notice text
Simulator training is a significant part of aviation training. In UPT, it can be as much as 33% of skill-based syllabus events. Therefore, simulator instructors are in high demand. The location of the USAF pilot training bases has led to hiring challenges of said instructors, driving a demand for remote work options. The Government is asking industry to provide said remote work options.
The solution should accommodate the use of current UPT simulators and commercial internet. Options to modify current simulators will be entertained but solutions should also include integration with simulators in their current state. Current Simulators use both single screen and dome style visual systems that the remote instructor would need repeated. The remote instructor station solution should be acceptable in an office setting or a “home-office” setting.
In response to this RFI, please identify innovative technology that can remain flexible, while showing the capability to advance and incorporate new technology.
In addition, please provide an anticipated timeline for completion.
