Background

The Digital Analytics, Infrastructure and Technology Advancement (DAiTA) Group is the Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) center of excellence and point–of–entry for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of the synthetic battlespace environment, modeling and simulation, aircraft prototyping, instrumentation and experimentation, electronic warfare and cyberwarfare and provides the associated laboratories, facilities and infrastructure to support research, development, testing, training, systems evaluation and experimentation. The Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test (IBST) Department, under the DAiTA Group, is the Naval Air Systems Command’s (NAVAIR) center of excellence for modeling and simulation of the Battlespace environment. The Simulation Division (SD), legacy NAWCAD 5.4.3, is one of three divisions within IBST and is responsible for simulation expertise and products for naval aviation systems and the Battlespace environment within which they operate. Simulation is used throughout the acquisition lifecycle to reduce risk and improve the quality of naval aviation systems.

Current laboratories operated or supported by the Simulation Division include:

  • Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) facility
  • Joint Simulation Environment (JSE)
  • E-2 Systems Test and Evaluation Lab (ESTEL)
  • P-8 Systems Integration Lab (PAXSIL)
  • Unmanned Air System (UAS) Integration Lab
  • Warfare Simulation Lab
  • Executive Helicopter Systems Integration Lab (SIL), and
  • H-60 Data Reduction Lab (DRL)

Requirements

  • The Contractor shall provide:
    • Engineering, technical, manufacturing, and program management support services and associated supplies for simulation systems requirements and operations of the NAWCAD IBST Department and the Simulation Division.
