Heavy Technical Trailer Capability - Industry Engagement
The aim of this engagement is to sound the market and understand industry appetite and possible opportunities to meet a Heavy Technical Trailer capability. The Army requires a family of trailers to be towed behind mainly armoured platforms. These trailers will initially carry the PYTHON mine clearance system; power packs for CHALLENGER/AJAX/BOXER/WR variants and AS90; other engines and main assemblies; logistic supplies potentially including engineer logistic materiel, fuel and ammunition. The trailers will be towed behind TROJAN, TERRIER, CRARRV, WR512/513, AJAX Apollo, BOXER, MAN SV 15 t and SV(R).
The family of trailers will be produced with as much commonality as possible, able to interoperate across the fleet of towing platforms and feature the following requirements:
| - | Mobility commensurate with the towing platforms cross country and on road, laden and unladen. |
| - | PYTHON trailers to enable 2 or 3 trailers behind one platform with uncoupling under armour |
| - | Appropriate stowage. |
| - | Load capacity up to c7t (CR3/T2 power pack likely to be the heaviest payload) |
| - | GVA compliant. |
| - | Brake testing solution and road legislation compliance. |
Areas we seek input from include:
| - | Opportunities for variable geometry hitches and connections. |
| - | Opportunity for variable geometry axles. |
| - | Braking solutions - likely to be ABS air brakes utilising on-board trailer mounted compressor and primarily powered electrically from towing platform with an option of air hoses for wheeled vehicle movements. |
| - | Appetite for procurement in line with the Land Industrial Strategy to enable a rapid procurement between 2023-26. |
| - | Transformational approach to an autonomous/remote controlled/RF tethered self-powered, non physically connected support platform. |
The expected fleet size is c120 with a likely life span of 20 years.
This day will start with a presentation from the programme SRO outlining our requirements followed by the opportunity for 15 minute 1 to 1 discussions with the SRO and his team. Lunch will be provided. The engagement will be held on 3 Nov 21 at Newcome Hall in Larkhill. Pre-registration to attend the event and discussion is required.
Registration should be sent to ArmyFutures-CSS-Prog@mod.gov.uk by 26 Oct 21. Requests for 1 to 1 discussions should be included in the response.
