Description

The purpose of this procurement is for the design, purchase, development and technical support of a synthetic training system for aircrew and support crew (support crew includes mission specific specialists such as Air Movements, Aero-Medical, Air Dispatch, and Parachutist Dispatch personnel) who are heavily involved in several emergency procedures alongside the Air Load Master (ALM). The requirement will require the design, development, installation and support of relevant COTS hardware and software to utilise 3D images of the interior of C17 and A400M aircraft, Containerised Dispatch System (CDS) loads, parachutists and other loads to allow difficult to replicate training to occur. It will also require the development of scenarios that represent both normal delivery of loads and emergency situations, which may include jammed loads / hung-up parachutists, or 'fire & fumes' in the fuselage of the aircraft to allow trainees to practice undertaking the necessary drills and procedures in both real-time and broken down by stages. It is anticipated that the DSPCR Contract Notice and associated Dynamic Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (DPQQ) will be issued in September 2022 with Contract Award estimated to be May 2023. Contract duration is expected to be 5-yrs. Please Note: the above information is indicative only and may be subject to change. The Authority reserves the right to not launch the procurement.
