The Tactical Systems (TacSys) Delivery Team (formally known as BATCIS) is responsible for the development, fielding and sustainment of a range of tactical Communication and Information Systems (CIS) in the joint Land Environment (LE). The team’s current portfolio includes: the in-service BCIP 5.6 (Bowman, Common Battlefield Applications Toolset (ComBAT), Infrastructure and Platform), Falcon, Joint Common Remote Viewing Terminal (JCRVT), Makefast, and Personal Role Radio capabilities; and the acquisition of MORPHEUS, TRINITY, DISMOUNTED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS (DSA), and Tactical Ground to Air and Tactical Satellite radio capabilities.

Each of these capabilities have their own specific mandates, and a dependency upon Suitably Qualified Experienced Personnel (SQEP) from the private sector to deliver this significantly complex programme across the Defence LE Tactical CIS (TacCIS).

It is our (TacSys) intent to compete the requirement for a private sector support contract commencing in Q2 2023, with an estimated value of £200M over five-years, to provide outcome-based support and flexibility in tasking across the following functional areas:

Digital Data and Technology – Solutions / Systems Architect, Technical Architect, Network / Infrastructure Architect, Security Architect / Engineering and Test Engineering.
