    Brief

    This opportunity involves procuring and outfitting a mobile vehicle as a test facility for Tactical Data Links (TDL) systems used on Royal Navy maritime and air platforms. The facility will be equipped with 3 modern workstations and capabilities including Link 22 HF/UHF communications, satellite connectivity, and Link 16 systems. The vehicle will run BOSS (Battlefield Operations Support System) software to enable comprehensive testing and quality assurance activities, with capacity for concurrent testing operations. The facility must operate throughout the UK and serve multiple purposes: maintaining mandatory test and assurance standards for all TDL-fitted platforms as required by Royal Navy Command Acquisition Support Programme, supporting operational defect rectification, and evaluating emerging TDL technologies. Suppliers should note that this is a critical capability for ensuring TDL system reliability and interoperability across Royal Navy platforms.
