The company has been working in support of the projects since 2016, providing the MOD with guidance on ‘requirements capture’ and helping to match needs with emerging technologies.

Tpgroup said it offered ‘well-timed’ support to the Government’s demands for responsive software ‘that can be developed and updated at pace’.

LE TacCIS covers the Bowman ComBAT Infrastructure and Platform (BCIP) 5.6, Morpheus, and several other sub-programmes.

Morpheus is billed as the UK’s first installation of Defence as a Platform (DaaP) for the tactical environment and builds on the current Bowman system.

Morpheus is designed to improve situational awareness at both a soldier and HQ level, increase network bandwidth and resilience to ensure information is delivered where needed, and provide an open architecture so the system is not locked to one prime contractor and can be developed more readily.
