Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for a Virtual Weapons Simulator for the 23d Security Forces Squadron (23 SFS) at Moody Air Force Base, GA. This system is crucial for meeting training requirements outlined in DAFI 36-2646, enhancing marksmanship, and supporting "Shoot/No-Shoot" training. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Proposals are due by February 20, 2026.

Scope of Work

The solicitation aims to procure a virtual weapons simulator to provide realistic and interactive weapons instruction. This capability is essential for the 23 SFS to enhance marksmanship proficiency, support Congressionally mandated Shoot/No-Shoot training, and offer a safe, resource-efficient alternative to live-fire ranges, thereby reducing ammunition consumption and range maintenance demands. The requirement is established in DAFI 36-2646 as a foundational training capability for Security Forces.

Key Requirements

The virtual weapons simulator must integrate both hardware and software components, including:

  • A mixed-reality combat simulation environment.
  • AI-enabled after-action review tools and intelligent adversary behavior modeling.
  • Head-mounted displays, weapon sensors, and recoil-enabled weapon simulators.
  • KWA LM4 weapons and magazines.
  • A Wi-Fi-enabled command terminal laptop.
  • Full warranty coverage.
  • Support simultaneous training for a four-person fire team and individual sessions.
  • Haptic feedback suits are an essential requirement to provide physical indication of being hit during simulated engagements, addressing a current capability gap.
  • The system must scan the real-life environment for use in diverse locations.
