S/SVT Weapons Optimization

*** UPDATE 29 APRIL 2019 ***Request for Solutions (RFS) and Statement of Need (SON) has been posted to the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) website at:https://trainingaccelerator.org/2019/04/s-svt-weapons-optimization/The Army's future training capability is the Synthetic Training Environment (STE). The STE enables tough, iterative, dynamic, and realistic multi-echelon / combined arms maneuver, mission rehearsal, and mission command collective training in support of multi-domain operations. The focus of this prototype project is to identify an optimal solution for the use of weapons training systems as part of the Soldier / Squad Virtual Trainer (S/SVT). The S/SVT is a close combat immersive simulation training capability addressing critical squad collective and individual combat skills as part of the STE.The S/SVT requires an effective weapon training system to increase effectiveness, reliability, availability, maintainability and affordability of simulated military equipment. The Army has identified a technological insertion point for weapons training capabilities that leverage emerging technologies, using Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) augmented reality Head Mounted Displays (HMD). The desired end state of this project is a cost effective instrumented and/or surrogate weapon that is integratable and training operable with a COTS HMD. This effort is not seeking a solution for the S/SVT capability as a whole and is only targeted at the weapons optimization component.A Statement of Need has been posted to the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX) website at:https://trainingaccelerator.org/2019/04/s-svt-weapons-optimization/*** All future updates related to this requirement will be posted to the TReX website
