About

Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to Bohemia Interactive Simulations (UK) Limited for Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS2), a common, interoperable, accessible, and deployable software enabler for simulation-based activity across Defence.

The solution is a low-fidelity, common virtual simulation tool exploiting Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) games-based technology, intended for widespread use to underpin interoperability of training systems and enable applications including decision support, research and development, training, and operations planning and rehearsal, free at the point of use.

The contract value is AUD 7,199,994 and covers a period of up to 10 years, comprising a 5-year managed service contract plus three 1-year options, resulting in perpetual unsupported licences for the final 2 years.

The solution is interoperable with extant and future simulations nationally and internationally through open standards, with import and export content compliant with DMaSC and CIGI.

It is licensed at an enterprise level for unrestricted use and distribution by the MoD, enabling widespread use and development opportunities.
