Range Managers Tool Kit
This is a Combined Synopsis Solicitation requested for the Training and Education Command (TECOM) Range and Training Management (RTAM) Division, Army, Navy, and Air Force, which requires technical support for the Range Mangers Toolkit (RMTK) and Marine Corps Range and Training Area Management Systems (MCRTAMS) including provisions of the RMTK tools approved for Foreign Military Sales customers. This is a single phase effort consisting of a written proposal leading to the award of a firm-fixed price (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery / Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Government intends to conduct a source selection in accordance with the commercial source selection procedures contained in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 12 in conjunction with FAR Part 15.
The Government is seeking potential Offerors with the capability to provide for the Information Technology Support of the RMTK suite of tools. These suite of tools operates on a software application that currently runs as an Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcMap Extension utilizing ESRI 3D Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions and ARC Server for the web enabled portions of MCRTAMS. The danger zone tools within RMTK depict a three dimensional (3D) area associated with firing weapons/lasers/explosives where the risk of damage, injury or death does not exceed an acceptable level. The RMTK danger zone tools allow the user to create and modify danger zones. The danger zones encompass the ground and airspace for lateral and vertical containment of projectiles, fragments, debris, and components resulting from the firing, launching, and/or detonation of ordnance. This three-dimensional zone accounts for weapon accuracy, failures, ricochets, and broaches/porpoising of a specific weapon/munition type delivered by a specific aircraft type, laser energy and direct/indirect fire weapons ordnance. Danger Zones represent the minimum safety requirements designed for live fire training on Department of Defense (DOD) training ranges.
The RMTK suite of tools are created in VB.Net and C++. The User Interface tools are written using VB.Net and the RMTK engine is compiled into a C++ Dynamic Link Library (DLL). The database foundations of the tools are created in Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server. For the WDZ tool the WDZ Software Specification Documents Volume I-VI provide detailed technical information regarding the WDZ tool required to create and integrate the WDZ data cubes.
