About

The Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to VRAI International Ltd for the MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) Tactical Capability Trainer (TCT) Pathfinder - Phase 1.

The requirement is to support an MLRS detachment generating data while carrying out tactical tasks using a cab simulator.

The cab simulator will be connected to an instructor and a command post, and will operate in a virtual and live tactical environment.

The data generated will be transferred to an analytical engine where it will be captured, stored, analysed and then presented to the instructor in an intuitive manner.

This will reduce speed to competency and improve the tactical employment of an MLRS SPLL.

The analysis will collect detailed user performance data from a simulated MLRS cab, then present it in a usable format.

The contract value is £287,000.
