Instrumented Live Training – ILT-A (Area Weapons Effect Simulation)

Tender description

The Training Simulation Systems Programme within Defence Equipment and Support, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), intends to place with Cubic Defense Applications Inc (CDA) a 2-year contract with up to an additional 4 x 1-year option years for the provision of Contractor Logistic Support, Support Repair and Post Design Services for the MoD owned Area Weapons Effect Simulator (ILT-A). ILT-A enables the simulation of area effects such as fire missions, danger areas like minefields, and permits the tracking and monitoring of participants (players) while dismounted, in vehicles and structures. The system provides man worn and vehicle instrumentation and an engagement capability for lighter weapons, as part of collective training. It simulates and records the effects of weapon engagements and enables realistic and challenging training. The contract will also allow for further developed instrumentation for Combined Arms Live Fire Exercises (CALFEX) along with potential for future Vehicle Integration. There is also a possibility of expansion of the systems into currently undefined training areas globally.
