Notice Title

Contract Awarded: Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) Training and Assurance Application on Digital Skills and Outcomes

Notice Description

MOD require an app developer to create an app to support the training and assurance of service persons using ground search detectors in a counter improvised explosive device (C-IED) role. There is currently no ability to provide quantitative feedback on the use of ground search detectors to the users and their commanders. The ability to correctly use a detector is critical in ensuring the threats are detected. Data to enable an understanding of how a detector is being swung in three dimensions (relative to the ground) and where the user is located in relation to the rest of the team is not currently available. The user and their commander will need feedback from the application to enable training and assurance. A training detector is being developed to solve this problem and generate the data required using commercial sensors and hardware. An application is required to support the sensors and hardware in generating the quantitative data and feedback. The users and their commanders will be able to access a visual representation of the data collected by the sensors via an app to enhance both training and assurance processes. Award documentation being published for transparency purposes only.
