DARPA is looking for input from the public and private sectors for its upcoming mass casualty simulation called Realistic Mass Casualty (MASCAL) Medical Simulation Capabilities.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking “input from industry, government support organizations, military training organizations, and civilian emergency preparedness entities regarding capabilities to plan, resource, execute, and assess high-fidelity, large-scale mass casualty (MASCAL) medical simulation events,” according to the special notice.

“This Request for Information (RFI) is a preliminary step to assess current capabilities to conduct realistic MASCAL simulations involving greater than 50, 100, or 200 simulated patients within a single event lasting less than 72 hours, and data sources to assess these events”
