Provision of Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS 2) Tender - 38909381

Provision of Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS 2)
Description : The Training & Simulation System Programme (TSSP) team, part of Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) within the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), is considering the potential requirement for the provision of a Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS 2) to provide a common, interoperable, accessible and deployable software enabler(s) for simulation-based activity across Defence.
Should, following completion of the market sounding exercise, the MoD wish to take forward the potential requirement then it will be expected that the preferred supplier would be able to demonstrate, implement and ultimately manage, over a period of up to 10 years, a solution capable of operating on standard Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware.
In more detail, the solution will:
• Be proven.
• Be capable of supporting end-to-end training events through an After-Action Review (AAR) tool and a real-time mission editor.
• Be interoperable with extant and future simulations, both nationally and internationally, through the use of open standards.
• Import and export content in open standards.
The solution will be COTS that will be licensed at an appropriate level providing enterprise, unrestricted use and distribution by the MoD, thereby enabling widespread use and development opportunities. Interoperability with Allied nations is also highly desirable.
