Section VI: Summary of Requirements / Description of Work
Summary of Requirements / Description of Work: Installation services of radio equipment. Installation services of radio equipment. Under the MORPHEUS Sub-programme the BATCIS Delivery Team is going through a significant programme of change to evolve the current Tactical Communication Information System (TacCIS) solution to deliver a technically & commercially Vendor Independent Open system. MORPHEUS will, in line with the Defence Information Strategy, deliver the tactical element of the Single Information Environment enabling decision support and information superiority for commanders in the Land Environment battle-space through the rapid exploitation of emergent technology to maximise user agility, and reduce delivery times and cost by eradicating vendor lock-in to become masters of our own destiny.The first step of the process is Evolve to Open.
