Defence Virtual Simulation 3 (DVS3)

Tender description

The Training & Simulation Systems Portfolio (TSSP) Project Team is at early stages of considering options to best fulfil the requirement for the provision of a common, interoperable, accessible and deployable software enabler(s) for simulation-based activity across Defence for the application of decision support, research and development, training, operations planning and rehearsal; and experimentation. As such, the Authority seeks to develop its understanding of the capabilities, dependencies and competitiveness of the marketplace and the ability of industry to provide the required level of support. Lot 1: Defence Virtual Simulation 3 (DVS3) is anticipated to be based on a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) based virtual simulation tool, to be used as widely as possible, promoting what was previously Defence Modelling and Simulation Coherence (DMaSC) Policy, now JSP 939, should be the simulated environment used across defence unless a greater value for money option can be sought to fulfil the required capability needs whilst underpinning the interoperability of training systems and enabling its use for applications including decision support; research and development; training; and operations planning and rehearsal. It will be made available through a licence-able approach. Additional information: Opportunity Listing found at: https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=56053
