PACER SYSTEMS, INC.

PACER SYSTEMS, INC. (PACER) PROPOSES A PHASE I STUDY TO DETERMINE AN APPROACH FOR INTEGRATING EMBEDDED TRAINING WITH THE FUTURE UPDATE IV AVIONICS SYSTEM AND INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY OF RETROFITTING A SELECTED PORTION OF THAT EMBEDDED TRAINING INTO THE EXISTING-P-3C UPDATE III. THE STUDY WILL INCLUDE A PARTIAL HARDMAN ANALYSIS, DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES, TRADE-OFF STUDIES, PREFERRED APPROACH DETAIL, AND PREPARATION OF A PHASE I STUDY REPORT AND PHASE II DEVELOPMENT PLAN. PACER WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS IN-HOUSE OPERATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE P-3C, CURRENT UNDERSTANDING OF UPDATE IV REQUIREMENTS, TRAINER DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE AND HARDMAN ANALYSIS EXPERIENCE TO PROVIDE AN EMBEDDED TRAINING APPROACH THAT RESPONDS TO THE VERY REAL TRAINING PROBLEMS OF DEPLOYED VP SQUADRONS. THE TRAINING NEEDS OF ALL OPERATORS (TACCO, NAV/COMM, AND SENSOR STATIONS 1, 2 AND 3) WILL BE ADDRESSED INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A TEAM.
