ILT-A enables the simulation of area effects such as fire missions, danger areas like minefields, and permits the tracking and monitoring of participants (players) while dismounted, in vehicles and structures. The system provides man worn and vehicle instrumentation and an engagement capability for lighter weapons, as part of collective training. It simulates and records the effects of weapon engagements and enables realistic and challenging training. The contract will also allow for further developed instrumentation for Combined Arms Live Fire Exercises (CALFEX) along with potential for future Vehicle Integration. There is also a possibility of expansion of the systems into currently undefined training areas globally.",

Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service is lawful in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for Technical Reasons. Cubic Defense Applications (CDA) are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Design Authority (DA) for the ILT-A. They are the only supplier who has access to the necessary technical data, source code and design drawings to be able to provide the support and upgrade services required. Further, only CDA have the specific skills, know-how and experience to provide Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) for the maintenance and repair of existing equipment and managed services, and Post Design Services (PDS) for modifications and design alterations/enhancements to the existing equipment which they have built up over a number of years as the OEM, support and upgrade provider and DA for ILT-A. Performance of the intended contract also requires access to ITAR controlled information and CDA is the only entity authorised to receive this information. In addition, ILT-A is required to integrate with the MoD's Direct Fire Weapons Effect Simulator (ILT-D) capability, which is also supported by CDA, to provide the MoD with a Tactical Effect Simulator (TES) capability -- a fully integrated combat training system. If another supplier was to attempt to provide the support and upgrade services required for ILT-A then this would also risk significant technical inter-operability issues with ILT-D/TES."
