By engaging in this tender, companies could not only secure a substantial contract but also establish long-term relationships with the Ministry of Defence, enhancing their market presence in the defence sector. ## Notice RTES is a training system that does not require blank ammunition. Initial procurement and support of 5 or more units. Each unit is expected to contain: 60 x electronic blank systems 60 x lasers 60 x sensor suites 3 x AAR systems. RTES is a standalone capability with no requirement to integrate with existing Tactical Engagement Simulation capabilities. RTES capability will allow the Army to train using real weapon systems with simulated weapon effects without the constraint of blank ammunition safety distances and therefore a deployable training system. It will capture data from training to enable measurement and evaluation through after-action review (ARR). The following weapon systems are in scope (these could be subject to change) for RTES: L85A2 and A3, L131A1 General Service Pistol. (Glock 17), L129A1 Sharpshooter Rifle, L109 HE/L111 Practice Grenade, L118A3 Sniper Rifle and GPMG.
