The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl<\/abbr>) is looking for suppliers to undertake research to support and enable the dismounted soldier. Known as the Dismounted Soldier System Engine Room, the 4 year contract worth up to \u00a340 million will help enable the UK soldier to continue being the battle winning capability. <\/p>\n

The successful suppliers will undertake operational analysis, technology research and systems engineering to underpin the development of the UK dismounted soldier capability by working with government, industry and academia.<\/p>\n

Duncan Stewart, Engine Room Technical Lead, Dstl<\/abbr> says: <\/p>\n

\n

The Dismounted Soldier System Engine Room contract, which will be delivered through a Dstl<\/abbr>-industry led team, will play a key part in research to deliver an integrated soldier system. It is an opportunity for suppliers to contribute to what the soldier could look like in the future; including developing the next generation of weaponry and supporting the integration of man-worn power and data.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Previous research in the dismounted soldier area includes the Future Soldier Vision concept<\/a> which shows what a soldier could be wearing and using on the battlefield in the 2020s.<\/p>\n

An industry day for suppliers to find out more about the Dismounted Soldier System Engine Room contract is being held on 22 March 2016 at the Imperial War Museum, London. <\/p>\n
