Tender description

Training and support to the Training equipment for the PGTE and TTS simulators Lot 1: PGTE training systems are used in all phases of training, initial conversion, career progression and annual skills training for Challenger 2 (CR2) crews. The training progresses from Computer Based Training (CBT) through to Part Task Trainers (PTT’s) for Driver and Gunner, through to high fidelity simulators for, Driver, Gunner and Loader Training. These simulators are used in developing individual skills and can be used in linked mode allowing CR2 crews to train in platoon level as they would operate the real platform. The PGTE is used by the regiments to achieve a “synthetic pass” in gunnery training and a pre-requisite prior to the live fire training as defined in the Armed Fighting Vehicle Operational Shooting Policy (AOSP). TERRIER is a simulator operating on a motion platform with real time visuals projected on 360-degree screens for simulating the real world. The Mission Crew Trainer (MCT (Full Terrier Crew System)) is used to train crew for Driving and Special to Role (STR) tasks utilising the Front Loader System (FLS) and Excavator Arm System (EAS). It can be operated by the crew heads out or closed-down and in different operating scenarios and conditions. Remote Control Trainer functionality is embedded within the MCT. This enables TERRIER Crewmen to develop the competency to carry out driving and STR tasks in a variety of environmental and ground conditions by remote control.
