Notice Title

Roundless Tactical Engagement System

Notice Description

Roundless Tactical Engagement System (RTES) will enhance the delivery of Battlecraft Syllabus (BCS) training through the realistic representation of personal weapon operation and effects, increased ability for Force Elements to access measurement and evaluation systems, and a reduced dependency on blank ammunition and training estate resources.
