Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Energy, specifically the Fluor Marine Propulsion office, is seeking technical proposals for the development of touch screen tactile enhancements aimed at improving training for Navy sailors. The objective is to enhance the tactile feedback of touch screen-based training panels, which currently lack the physical feedback and muscle memory provided by traditional physical panels, while still maintaining lower costs and versatility. This initiative is crucial for maintaining operational fleet readiness, as effective training tools are essential for simulating real hardware interactions. Interested parties should submit their proposals to Jon Ruffley at Jonathan.Ruffley@unnpp.gov by the specified deadline.
