Roundless Tactical Engagement System

Tender description

Roundless Tactical Engagement System (RTES) will enhance the delivery of Battlecraft Syllabus (BCS) training through the realistic representation of personal weapon operation and effects, increased ability for Force Elements to access measurement and evaluation systems, and a reduced dependency on blank ammunition and training estate resources. RTES will instrument live equipment with minimal alteration to its operation or published drills. By doing so RTES will collect data to enable comprehensive objective evaluation of training. RTES will deliver 3 separate packs of equipment, each containing the components required to instrument 60 trainees. RTES will be provided over a period of up to 10 years (made up of 5 years in-service support + 5 x 1 year options which the Authority reserves the right to take as a combination or as 1 year increments). There are also options in place to procure additional RTES packs or instrumentation.
