Integrated Live Virtual Constructive Test Environment for AH-64E Follow-On Operational Test II The U.S. Army Contracting Command - Orlando (ACC-ORL) is issuing this Sources Sought Notice as a means of facilitating market research to identify parties capable of accomplishing the subject effort in support of Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager for Instrumentation, Targets, Threat Simulators, and SOF Training Systems (PM ITTS), Instrumentation Management Office (IMO).

This instrumentation includes data collection onboard the AH-64E during flight tests, while also providing communication wirelessly with ground stations. The ground stations then communicate through wireless networks with ground platforms (soldiers and vehicles) that are outfitted with network radios and Aviation-specific Tactical Engagement Simulation System (AVNTESS) instrumentation. AVNTESS is an advanced weapons training system developed for the AH-64E to support force-on-force and force-on-target live training currently fielded at U.S. Army Combat Training Centers (CTCs), Aviation Home Stations, and deployed locations. AVNTESS integrates with aircraft and ground vehicles to provide collective opposing force participation in live training and testing. Sources are being sought to determine capable contractors that can accomplish the instrumentation deployment and operation to support these AH-64E operational tests.
