Technical requirements: The aim of the Collective Training Transformation Programme (CTTP) is to transform collective training to match ever-more complex threats above and below the threshold of conflict, enabled by dynamic exploitation of training data, immersive environments and hard-wired flexibility.
CTTP is the Army's methodology for moving towards Future Collective Training System 2025. It includes the transformation of both the commercial enterprise and the user experience. An alliance with the best of Industry will deliver technological innovation and optimise outputs.
The authority is currently moving from concept into assessment phase and is maturing the requirements and commercial approach prior to outline business case.
As part of maturing the programme, the authority is seeking to further engage with Industry through a series of Requests for Information (RFI) exercises. These RFIs will focus on understanding and refining the requirement and developing the Commercial approach.
