This procurement initiative, falling under the Research and development services and related consultancy services industry classification, is aimed at conducting a Capability Investigation for the Army Warfighting Urban Series 2023-2024. The tender, set to be released in October 2023, focuses on integrating future technology to enhance command and control structures within a tactical scenario using live, virtual, and constructive methods. The upcoming AWE Urban: Integrate tender by the Ministry of Defence presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services and consultancy. Companies specialising in cutting-edge technologies and solutions for sensor fusion, cognitive burden reduction, and command and control systems would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The procurement process, currently at the planning stage, offers a chance for businesses to contribute to Army modernisation and transformation efforts by providing innovative solutions aligned with the specified hypotheses outlined in the tender documentation. ## Notice The Army Warfighting Urban Series 2023-2024 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 advert relates to the third iteration of the AWE Urban Series - Integrate. ### Lot Information Lot 1 AWE Urban Series - Background 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. The Requirement AWE Integrate will examine how a future Land Force can utilise future technology to fuse sensor inputs and reduce the cognitive burden on force elements to provide a more coherent, efficient and survivable command and control structure as part of wider multi-domain operations. In addition, it will also review several previously offered hypotheses to generate more evidence against them, as well as bringing together a number of systems from earlier on in the series. AWE Integrate will focus on the following hypotheses, which will be further refined in due course into detailed experimental activity. Applications must link to one of the following hypotheses: COMMAND - If Urban force element Commanders have information management and exploitation tools that reduce their cognitive burden, then they will make higher quality, faster decisions to increase operational tempo and mass. INTELLIGENCE - If all Urban force elements have timely access to AI-processed ISTAR data (including native Civilian systems) then they will make better, intelligence-led, decisions to increase operational advantage. REVIEW - Hypotheses to be reviewed from earlier in the series (generate additional evidence). Additional information: AWE Urban Series activity may be circulated through a number of communication routes; however the White Paper and Quad Chart are only available via the DSP once the ITT has been published. The AWE Urban: Integrate ITT is due to be released in October 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028521-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Sep 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 27 Sep 2023 at 13:37 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028521-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
