        "description": "Heavy Technical Trailer Capability - Industry Engagement The aim of this engagement is to sound the market and understand industry appetite and possible opportunities to meet a Heavy Technical Trailer capability. The Army requires a family of trailers to be towed behind mainly armoured platforms. These trailers will initially carry the PYTHON mine clearance system; power packs for CHALLENGER/AJAX/BOXER/WR variants and AS90; other engines and main assemblies; logistic supplies potentially including engineer logistic materiel, fuel and ammunition. The trailers will be towed behind TROJAN, TERRIER, CRARRV, WR512/513, AJAX Apollo, BOXER, MAN SV 15 t and SV(R). The family of trailers will be produced with as much commonality as possible, able to interoperate across the fleet of towing platforms and feature the following requirements: - Mobility commensurate with the towing platforms cross country and on road, laden and unladen. - PYTHON trailers to enable 2 or 3 trailers behind one platform with uncoupling under armour - Appropriate stowage. - Load capacity up to c7t (CR3/T2 power pack likely to be the heaviest payload) - GVA compliant. - Brake testing solution and road legislation compliance. Areas we seek input from include: - Opportunities for variable geometry hitches and connections. - Opportunity for variable geometry axles. - Braking solutions - likely to be ABS air brakes utilising on-board trailer mounted compressor and primarily powered electrically from towing platform with an option of air hoses for wheeled vehicle movements. - Appetite for procurement in line with the Land Industrial Strategy to enable a rapid procurement between 2023-26. - Transformational approach to an autonomous/remote controlled/RF tethered self-powered, non physically connected support platform. The expected fleet size is c120 with a likely life span of 20 years. This day will start with a presentation from the programme SRO outlining our requirements followed by the opportunity for 15 minute 1 to 1 discussions with the SRO and his team. Lunch will be provided. The engagement will be held on 3 Nov 21 at Newcome Hall in Larkhill. Pre-registration to attend the event and discussion is required. Registration should be sent to ArmyFutures-CSS-Prog@mod.gov.uk by 26 Oct 21. Requests for 1 to 1 discussions should be included in the response.",
