The UK s Defence Equipment & Support organisation has highlighted nearly £140 million of planned investment in British Army training requirements.
The Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) agency in the UK MoD used the recent Defence Simulation, Education & Training (DSET) conference in Bristol to highlight a number of future requirements.
Nick Taylor, head of soldier, training and special projects at DE&S, discussed five key programmes alongside the Defence & Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS) and the future of collective training provision.
Success in training is all about putting together the right team to deliver it. That is why Thales Training and Simulation and Cervus Defence and Security are teaming up to bid for the British Army’s upcoming deployable Interim Combined Arms Virtual Simulation capability, ICAVS(D).
This partnership of a Large UK Prime and UK Small-Medium Enterprise will bring together scalable delivery capability and established experience with innovative technology and novel applications to offer the Army a proven and measurable training service delivered effectively at the point of need.
Entering service in March 2022, ICAVS(D) will provide end-user virtual training both in barracks and at facilities overseas and is a ‘pathfinder project’ for the Army’s Collective Training Transformation Programme (CTTP), which will ensure that the British Army’s collective training delivers operational superiority against complex threats.
