AUXILIARY DRY CARGO T-ADC(X) SUPPORT SHIPS NAVSEA seeks comments from potential shipbuilders and designers for the new Auxiliary Dry Cargo Ship (T-ADC(X)) on a beta version of the T-ADC(X) Cargo Flow Modeling and Simulation (M&S) program. NAVSEA desires comments on specific attributes of the program and recommendations for improvements. This software review is a follow-up to the industry demonstration of the software held in April of 1998. NAVSEA intends to use the M&S program to support the acquisition of T-ADC(X). It is envisioned as a potential design aid for proposal preparation, and may also be used in the source selection process to evaluate design proposals. To receive a copy of the program and user manuals, send email to adcx@hq.navsea.navy.mil, with "M&S Software Review" as the subject line, provide company name, mailing address and point of contact. DENEB "Quest," version 4 or higher, is required to run the simulation portion of the program and will not be provided by the Government.
