What the notice says
The purpose of this award was to procure a Virtual Weapons Simulator for the 23d Security Forces Squadron (23 SFS) at Moody Air Force Base. This capability is essential to meeting the training requirements outlined in DAFI 36?2646 and to ensuring Defenders are fully prepared to execute their mission across the full spectrum of installation defense operations. The requirement for a virtual weapons simulator is established in DAFI 36?2646 as a foundational training capability for Security Forces. This system enables realistic and interactive weapons instruction designed to enhance marksmanship p… (show all)
roficiency, support Congressionally mandated Shoot/No?Shoot training, and provide a safe, resource?efficient alternative to exclusive reliance on live?fire ranges. By reducing the consumption of ammunition and minimizing range maintenance demands, the simulator contributes directly to Air Force resource stewardship. DAFI 36?2646, Section 3.13.4.2 � Weapons Simulator A weapons simulator is defined as a training device that supports the development and sustainment of mission?essential skills to a prescribed standard of competency for specific operational tasks and duty positions. Security Forces units are required to employ weapons training simulators capable of generating realistic use?of?force engagement scenarios, enabling Defenders to train against threats across the full spectrum of installation defense operations. These systems must support tactical weapons employment for all weapons assigned to the unit�s mission and provide an effective tool for Airmen conducting marksmanship training. The simulator also serves as a valuable refresher capability, reinforcing muscle memory for personnel who fire less frequently. Space requirements vary based on the system configuration and the weapons supported. Additional technical specifications are outlined in Attachment 3 of the instruction. To meet these requirements, the virtual weapons simulator must integrate both hardware and software components, including a mixed?reality combat simulation environment, AI?enabled after?action review tools, and intelligent adversary behavior modeling. The system must incorporate head?mounted displays, weapon sensors, recoil?enabled weapon simulators, KWA LM4 weapons and magazines, a Wi?Fi?enabled command terminal laptop, and full warranty coverage. The platform must support simultaneous training for a four?person fire team while also allowing for individual training sessions. Haptic feedback suits are an essential requirement, addressing a current capability gap in which trainees receive no physical indication of being hit during simulated engagements. These suits provide immediate tactile feedback when a trainee is struck by simulated enemy fire, reinforcing realistic decision?making and enhancing overall training effectiveness. The weapon simulator MUST be head-mounted. The weapon simulator MUST be mobile. The weapon simulator MUST come with 4 of the required KWA LM4 rifles. The weapons MUST be the same size, weight and recoil of a standard issue M4. The weapon simulator MUST be able to support at least 4 users simultaneaously. The weapon simulator MUST include Haptic Feedback Suits.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $PWR reported $32.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 10 past awards, $72K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
