Opportunity Listing: https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=61369
The MTF project includes the purchase and outfit of a vehicle that shall be converted to a mobile test facility that allows Tactical Data Links (TDL) to be fitted to Maritime and Air platforms. The vehicle shall be fitted with 3 modern workstations, Link 22 HF and UHF, Satellite and Link 16 capabilities. The vehicle will employ BOSS (Battlefield Operations Support System) Software as a test tool that enables the team to conduct test and assurance activities. The vehicle is capable of concurrent testing and shall be capable of operating throughout the UK.
Test and assurance is a mandatory requirement set by the Royal Navy Command Acquisition Support Programme and is therefore essential to provide the ability to maintain test and assurance to all TDL fitted platforms in the UK. The vehicle is also utilised for Operational Defect rectification and to baseline emerging TDL technologies.
