Interesting that the video was just posted now. (Additionally, worth calling out that nautilus and VirTra have been partnered for quite some time. Maybe 2020 or 2019. And I don’t have a link on hand, but I believe Virtra already provides simulators for MoD)
Original notice of future tender went out in Nov ‘20. Tender released and due in April ‘21.
RTES is a training system that does not require blank ammunition. Initial procurement and support of five or more units. Each unit is expected to contain: — 60 x electronic blank systems, — 60 x lasers, — 60 x sensor suites, — 3 x AAR systems
Value £7M-£79M
ten (10) years consisting of an initial five (5) year contract duration for the equipment delivery and Contractor Logistic Support (CLS), and a further five (5) x one (1) year contract options. The Authority reserves the right to change and take the option years as a combination, or as one (1) year increments.
The RTES requirement will support training exercises conducted at training locations initially in the UK, with potential for deployment overseas. The capability is intended for use as widely as possible (the service may be provided in a variety of environments and climates) without the need for fixed infrastructure. The RTES capability initially intends to deliver equipment units of a training system (quantity to be determined) through live instrumented training. The RTES system will require After Action Review capability which is anticipated to be delivered by the user.
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 bring a capability into service from 2022.
