Notice Title

AWE Urban: Sustain and Protect F03 CAN

Notice Description

The Army Warfighting Experiment Urban Series 2022-2024 is a Capability Investigation within a threat based tactical scenario. It will employ live, virtual, and constructive methods to produce evidence which: de-risks major equipment programmes; enhances relationships with industry, partners, and allies; and accelerates Army modernisation and transformation. This CAN relates to the first iteration of the AWE Urban Series - Sustain and Protect.

Lot Information

Lot 1

AWE Sustain and Protect focuses on the following hypotheses, which are refined into detailed experimental activity. All activity must link to one of the following hypotheses: Sustainment 1. If Urban CSS elements have the means to autonomously forecast consumption rates, then stores can be disseminated before they become needed to increase mass. Sustainment 2. If Urban Equipment Support Specialists have the means to autonomously predict component failure, then parts can be replaced before a failure occurs to increase mass. Sustainment 3. If Urban Medical Specialists have the ability to autonomously identify, and treat or extract, casualties before their combat effectiveness is adversely affected then operational output can be maintained to ensure tempo and mass. Sustainment 4. If Urban Equipment Support Specialists have the ability to identify and autonomously recover stricken equipment then they can remain protected to increase mass. Sustainment 5. If Urban FEs have the organic means to generate, store, manage and distribute electrical power then they will be able to sustain their own electrical power requirements to increase tempo and mass. Protection 1. If Urban Commanders have the ability to create physical obstacles then they will be able to control Freedom of Movement in the Urban environment to increase tempo and mass. Protection 2. If Urban FE have the ability to autonomously or remotely breach urban barriers, rapidly and repeatedly, then they can increase freedom of movement and protection to increase tempo and mass. Protection 3. If Urban FEs have the ability to conceal their own physical and non-physical (EMS and Cyber) signatures, then they will improve their survivability to increase mass. Protection 4. If urban FE have the ability to accurately map the urban environment, including sub-terranean zones, then they will improve IPE and increase situational understanding to increase tempo. Protection 5. If Urban FEs have autonomous means to FIND emplaced threats, then they will have increased freedom of movement to increase tempo. Personnel 1. If personnel have their performance optimised (cognitive, physical, psychological and social) then they will be capable of performing at a higher standard to increase operational advantage. Personnel 2. If Urban Commanders have better intelligence regarding the physical and mental capacity of their work force, then they will be more able to resource missions and tasks to increase operational advantage.

Options: The Authority reserves the right to extend the duration of the Contract by utilising the following Options: 1) OPTION 1 to extend the Contract until 31st March 2024 2) OPTION 2 to extend the Contract until 31st March 2025 The Authority will be under no obligation to take up the Options and the Contractors will be notified of the Authority's decision on any extension before thirty calendar (30) days of Contract completion. If no notification of this Option is provided to Contractors prior to thirty calendar days before Contract completion, Contract will terminate on the original expiry date (31st March 23). The Contractor will not need to submit White Papers, Quad Charts nor attend product pitches for future AWE Urban events if the Authority decides to take up the Option(s). For the avoidance of doubt, this term only applies to products that have been experimented with at AWE Urban: Sustain and Protect.
