Company Core Services and Products:

 

Visual Training Solutions Group, Inc. (VTSG), located in Herndon, Virginia, specializing in high-fidelity PC based training systems provides a unique combination of operational and technical expertise necessary to meet the requirements of military aviation training and simulation. The VTSG team consists of former weapons school instructors, operational test and evaluation officers and software engineers with extensive backgrounds in systems and sensor computer training applications.

 

VTSG currently offers commercially and via this GSA Schedule, the AirBook USA mission training system. The AirBook USA training system is a portable system that provides high-fidelity weapon, sensor and mission training on a COTS-based PC platform. The system provides tactical military training on a standards-based software core that is adaptable to any training requirement. An AirBook USA system may include:

  • Advanced high fidelity simulation, graphics, and terrain engines
  • Part-task to Multi-platform, multi-mission training modes
  • Distributed Mission Training (DMT) compatible; HLA certified; FOM agile
  • Virtual Reality (VR) display with embedded head tracking providing 360o field of regard visuals
  • Multiple, simultaneous Weapons, Sensor and System simulations
  • User tailored feedback via Virtual Instructor and 3-D visual mission playback
  • SCORM-compliant Learning Management System (LMS) application

 

The AirBook USA mission training system includes commercially available PC computers and peripherals, off-the-shelf training and simulation modules, and customized software components and training content. Those items (or modules) and the labor rate to customize them and develop training content are listed below. Customization may include:

  • Training system requirements analysis and design support
  • Specific weapons, sensor (simulation object) behavior modeling to include classified data, if required
  • Specific aircraft flight modeling
  • Detailed training mission or scenario development
  • Specific simulation display software development
  • Specific aircraft, weapon, and threat (simulation object) graphics development
  • Specific terrain, elevation, and imagery development
  • Customized control replica design and development
  • Simulation entity behavior modeling

 

VTSG via a GSA Schedule task order is able to provide government customers the ability to design an AirBook USA mission training system that best fits their specific requirements while taking advantage of commercially available, off-the-shelf training and simulation modules. The procuring official selects the items (or modules) required from the Price List and details the customization scope of effort. VTSG develops the customized software and training content then integrates the hardware, existing modules, and customized software. Additionally, VTSG is able to provide Contractor Logistical Support (CLS) for the delivered systems.

Volume Pricing information: The following price schedule is based upon the procurement of the items on an individual basis, discounts for quantities of greater than 25 and less than 50 is 5%, discounts for quantities equal to or greater than 50 and less than 100 is 7.5%, quantities greater than 100 is 10% of the total price. Additionally, procurement of multiple modules results in further discounts of up to 15% of the combined module prices, depending on quantity procured. VTSG, Inc. can incorporate classified weapon systems and performance into training modules; however, level of classification may impact percent of reduction associated with procurement due to processing, handling and shipping requirements associated with the effort.

 

Maintenance information: Maintenance and Support includes support for all hardware and software for delivered system(s) including the replacement or repair of parts and material due to normal use of equipment for a period of 360 days from contract date. Equipment broken due to Government mishandling will be replaced at the cost of the items plus an hourly rate on a cost basis to configure the system and replace the software. Software support includes basic simulation updates (generally two per year) and mission module updates of existing training sessions. Additionally, support includes the correction of post delivery discrepancies within original project scope. Note, the creation of a new Aircraft operational flight program or the addition of new weapons and/or sensors to a delivered trainer would not be included in the software support package, but may be contracted separately and incorporated into an existing long-term maintenance contract.
