Notice Title

703911450 - Provision of an Independent Assessment of Hadean Technical Demonstrator

Notice Description

Cloud distributed simulation has the potential to enable the Army to run larger simulations with remote participants for Multi domain Integration and Integrated Action. These capabilities are required to blend training environments and exploit areas of opportunity. A technology demonstrator (TD), provided by Hadean Supercomputing Limited (See Transparency Notice here: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0da9d8b6-c621-4081-b105-98e49a86e530) will provide industry with confidence in the MOD's approach to introduce a cloud-based simulation platform, inform requirements for services that will be acquired through Defence Digital's Defence Synthetic Environment Platform (DSEP), and support Collective Training Transformation Programme (CTTP) decision making. The TD will be supplemented by this requirement, an Independent Technical Evaluation which will justify the findings of the TD.
