Descriptions

Armoured military vehicles. Repair and maintenance services of military vehicles. Armoured military vehicles. Repair and maintenance services of military vehicles. The provision and in-service support (including but not limited to spares, repairs, PDS and ad-hoc tasking) Protected Mobility (PM) vehicles capable of providing a ‘Troop carrying’ and Pre-Hospital Emergency Care (PHEC) and Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) ambulance capability of a modern design. In addition, the Contractor will be required to integrate UK Armed Forces specific mission equipment with the vehicles.Multi Role Vehicle — Protected (MRV-P) Troop Carrying Vehicle (TCV) and Future Protected Battlefield Ambulance (FPBFA) are intended to be based on a common base platform with sufficient flexibility to satisfy a number of roles. The TCV and FPBFA variants will support the rapidly deployable forces (i.e. first-in, airborne or amphibious capability) as well as the regular armed forces. TCV and FPBFA must therefore provide protected mobility against real world scenarios encountered by military forces conducting Global Operations.As core equipment, TCV and FPBFA shall have an in-service life of at least 25 years. It is intended that the TCV variant will provide the base platform to satisfy wider requirements which include but are not limited to EOD, RMP, Engineer Support, and Gun Limber. Any requirements for these variants will be completed via Ad Hoc Tasking, post Contract Award.In order to achieve a Planning Assumption for Service Entry (PASE) date during 2019, the TCV and FPBFA capability is expected to be based on Military off the Shelf (MOTS) mature platforms of modern design capable of incorporating the required Personnel and Medical mission fits.Whilst a detailed requirements document will be released as part of the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN), the following should be considered as general characteristics of a vehicle suitable to meet the TCV and FPBFA requirement.Occupants FPBFA:— 1 x Driver;— 1 x Commander;— 6 x Personnel ( FPBFA) — Combination of permanent seating for 2 x Medical Attendants seated at the head of the stretcher and ability to transport 2 stretchered casualties or 1 stretchered casualty and 3 Seated Casualties and combinations thereof.Occupants TCV:— 1 x Driver;— 1 x Commander;— 6 x Seated Passengers (TCV).Human Factors Integration (HFI)— FPBFA must allow Medical Attendants to carry out a number of medical tasks while the vehicle is stationary and in motion.Capacity:— Must have sufficient capacity to carry occupants and personal equipment, UK mission systems, Complete Equipment Schedule (CES) and appropriate medical equipment for FPBFA.Dimensions:— Max width 2 500 mm;— Max Height 2 650 mm (transit mode).Transportability:— Must be capable of being transported by land, sea and air (including but not limited to A400M and C17) with minimal preparation. There is no requirement to transport under slung by rotary wing aircraft.Mobility:— Must have = Medium Mobility load carrying classification.Survivability:— To provide threshold protection to the occupants from ballistic threat at = Stanag Level 2 and blast threat at = Stanag Level 2.
