69--Live Training Interface Standards Working Group

This amendment posts the original attachment. This is a Request for Information (RFI). This RFI working group announcement supports general program planning related to evolving the PM TRADE standards portfolio in a collaborative working group environment. This RFI will not result in a contract action related to interface standards development. This working group is strictly voluntary. PM TRADE is seeking industry participation, support, and feedback on identifying, maturing, and instantiating key Live Training interface standards. This is an opportunity for industry to provide knowledge, insight, and recommendations in shaping the logical partitions and in developing key Live Training interface standards with the government. Adhering to these key interface standards will be a requirement in future programs. Interdependencies across the PM TRADE product line portfolio are becoming more prevalent and necessitate that non-proprietary PM TRADE wide interface standards must be established and actively managed to ensure continuity in development and sustainment. Through vendor-neutral interface standards, PM TRADE's intent is to reduce the total cost of ownership, improve interoperability, and implement an architecture that supports technology and component insertion. Upon publishing, these PM TRADE non-proprietary interfaces and associated software will be configuration managed under the LT2 construct. Refer to the attachment for additional information. This specific initiative does not impact and is separate from the FASIT interface standards. On 2 April 2013 PM TRADE will host an Industry Day to initiate key Live Training interface standards development. See the attachment for details. Each company is requested to RSVP via email to [email protected] by COB on 27 March 2013 with the information listed below. Questions related to this working group shall be submitted in writing and addressed to [email protected] and [email protected]
