The MOD requires a Mission Partner capability to demonstrate an Agile delivery team construct that offers the bridging of technology propositions from experimentation through to in-service delivery and enable rapid updates to a system baseline.
This is summarised as:
The first candidate for the Mission Partner is concerned with a Tactical Communications network called EVE which has been designed and built by the Navy.
EVE is a C5IS requirement for the Commando Force and aligned Very High Readiness Specialist Users of which the Navy wish to retain elements of the System Design Authority role. Based on the current draft IP Strategy, it is likely that the Navy will also release IPR under licence.
The contracting authority recognises that companies may not be able to offer a complete end-end solution or a full set of UK based evidence and capability and are keen to understand what elements could be fulfilled indicating that novel solutions are encouraged.
