## Summary

The Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom is currently engaged in a procurement process for the "Interim Combined Arms Virtual Simulation (Deployable)" project, classified under the services category for training and simulation in firearms, military vehicles, and security equipment. This tender is at the award stage, with a core contract value of £5,130,156, potentially rising to £57,408,756 if all priced options are invoked over a six-year timeline. The contract was officially signed on 11th October 2021, and it focuses on delivering a managed training service that can be adapted for various environments and missions both nationally and internationally.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in military training, simulation technologies, and related services. Companies that provide managed service solutions for defence training, including those with capabilities in software development for virtual environments and training scenario design, would be ideally suited to compete. With the contract's expansive scope for training delivery and after-action review capabilities, this could open doors for innovative firms seeking to enhance defence training offerings within the UK and abroad.

## Notice

Training and simulation in firearms and ammunition, training and simulation in military vehicles, training and simulation in security equipment, training and simulation in military electronic systems, training and simulation in firearms and ammunition, training and simulation in military vehicles, training and simulation in military electronic systems, training and simulation in security equipment, the Training and Simulation System Portfolio (TSSP) team, part of DE&S within the UK MoD, is considering the potential requirement for the provision of a Interim Combined Arms Virtual Trainer (Deployable). ICAVS(D) Will be used to provide teams and junior commanders with a simple, effective computer-based training environment that enables them to carry out tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) and command and control (C2), patrolling, counter-IED, ISTAR management and exploitation and mission planning training in a realistic virtual environment. An outline of the proposed requirement will be to demonstrate, implement and ultimately manage, over a period of 4 years plus 2 option years in 1 year increments, a managed service capable of delivering individual, platoon to company level (or service/arm equivalent) collective training across the UK and abroad. It will support a range of environments, equipment and missions types by being flexible in its scenario generation and content integration, exploiting MOD corporate simulation data where practicable. ICAVS(D) will contribute to the preparation of land environment (LE) force elements (FEs) force preparation through provision of exercise design which will provide specific unit exercise scenarios that are pre-scripted and reflect the collective training objectives (CTOs) for each service/arm. At its core ICAVS(D) capability will provide exercises at unit locations, or agreed alternatives, through the provision of training delivery of virtual simulated training utilising CTO and commanding officers direction. After action review (AAR) will provide the facility to deliver a debrief to the training audiences, which will be presented by the unit chain of command with support from the service provider.
