Modeling, Instrumentation and Simulation (MIST) for Live Training

The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking prototype test solutions to achieve live training system interoperability among coalition partner nations, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. The objective is to enable seamless integration of Tactical Engagement Simulation Systems (TESS) and associated live training instrumentation during combined coalition training exercises. The scope of work includes conducting a comprehensive assessment of standards, performing joint testing, developing a common performance specification, and providing a recommended Course of Action for an iterative path to joint interoperability. • The selected vendor will be responsible for delivering a test suite to validate the interoperability standard. • The vendor will also evaluate COTS solutions to enable a unified network, Common Operating Picture (COP), and After-Action Review (AAR). • The Government will provide access to coalition partner TESS equipment and US TESS for testing. • The provision of the test environment and execution of field testing are the responsibility of the selected vendor.
