Section VI: Summary of Requirements / Description of Work
Summary of Requirements / Description of Work: Training and simulation in aircraft, missiles and spacecraft. Training and simulation in military electronic systems. Military electronic systems. Data storage services. The Defence Operational Training Capability (Air) (DOTC(A)) Programme is the MOD’s solution to the future of Air centric collective synthetic training. The DOTC(A) Programme aims to establish a series of networked synthetic mission training facilities to support the development and sustainment of the UK’s Defence Capability. The DOTC(A) Core System and Service (DCS&S) Project will support the DOTC(A) Programme and enable distributed training by providing a common synthetic environment and a range of training delivery services, which will ensure coherence and interoperability across the DOTC(A) Programme.
The DCS&S requirement is for the design, development and delivery of a system capable of hosting the common synthetic environment for distributed synthetic training devices to connect to each other, via a Government issued Wide Area Network, so that synthetic mission training events can be facilitated.
The system shall facilitate the execution and real-time management of the synthetic environment and training events, manage security restrictions across different classification domains and also provide the ability to review each training event, enabling near real-time feedback for trainees. The requirement also includes the design, development and delivery of a Development Engineering Laboratory to support exercise design and planning, through life system development and engineering, experimentation and to de-risk future capability integration activities.
