Competition: Populating the World of Training (Phase 1)

What innovations are we looking for?

• Innovations ranging from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 to 6, that help deliver seamless training irrespective of the training environment, so the experience of Live troops with their boots on the ground is as credible, and challenging, as the effects of that same experience has on troops participating in the Virtual environment.

• Innovations that augment live assets, such as role players, vehicles, weapons and systems.

• Innovations such as behavioural models and methods for rapid reconfiguration that make computer-generated forces more credible.

• Innovations that deliver a credible challenge, such as a contested electromagnetic spectrum, remote and autonomous systems, and realistic threat capabilities.

Total funding available

The total possible funding available for this competition is £2.845 million (ex VAT).

The Army is keen to select multiple proposals for funding. We anticipate funding proposals between £100k and £300k but may consider higher proposal values that provide value for money (VFM). Genuinely compelling submissions outside these parameters will be considered. All proposals must not exceed 12 month project duration.
