Notice Title

DSTL RCloud - Best Practice & Standards for using 'synthetic environments' to compliment experimental testing

Notice Description

Dstl are conducting a feasibility study on the use of "Synthetic Environments" to reduce reliance on conventional, experiment-based "test and evaluation" in the area of Defence. As part of this process Dstl needs to understand the current standards and accreditation needed to ensure best practice exploitation of synthetic environments. This contract will task an organisation, with specialist knowledge and experience in writing standards for engineering simulation, to develop and document a "roadmap" detailing what would be required for Dstl to develop and maintain "Synthetic Environments" for defence applications.
