Enhancement of Alberta Aerial Firefighting Simulation System (AFSS) for Training at Hinton Training Centre

The Government of Alberta's Forestry and Parks division is seeking proposals to modernize its Alberta Aerial Firefighting Simulation System (AFSS) at the Hinton Training Centre. - Modernization includes: - Acquisition of a high-fidelity helicopter cockpit for simulation-based training - Addition of a director station and mentor station to support advanced training scenarios - Procurement of four role player stations to enable multi-role exercises - All equipment and upgrades must be fully compatible with the existing AFSS infrastructure - Compatibility required with Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Lorby Wildfire Response (LWR) simulation software - Delivery, installation, and configuration must occur on-site at the Hinton Training Centre - No specific OEMs or vendors are named; proposals must ensure seamless integration with current systems - The enhancements are intended to improve training for Air Attack Officers (AAOs) and Helicopter Coordinators (HLCOs) involved in wildfire aerial operations

Description

This solicitation is for the enhancement of the Alberta Aerial Firefighting Simulation System (AFSS) to support training for Air Attack Officers and Helicopter Coordinators in wildfire aerial operations. The project aims to modernize legacy equipment by procuring a high-fidelity helicopter cockpit, director station, mentor station, and additional role player stations to enable advanced multi-role training exercises. Enhancements will also improve the user experience by upgrading physical cockpit environments and usability features. All upgrades must be compatible with existing simulation infrastructure and installed on-site at the Hinton Training Centre.
