Integrated Project Teams (IPTs)

This year’s conference will provide delegates with a unique opportunity to have pre-arranged meetings with representatives from 15-20 MoD Integrated Project Teams (IPTs) – Air, Land and Sea, thereby allowing attending delegates to gain a better understanding of the IPT function and how to work with IPTs in the future.

Naval Electronic Warfare Integrated Project Team

The team’s principal role is to support the Royal Navy Fleet by providing detection of and countermeasures against current and emerging anti-ship, air and asymmetric threats these cover a wide spectrum of Naval Electronic Warfare activities. These tasks are achieved by Civilian and Royal Navy staff from various disciplines including engineers.

Future Carrier (CVF) Integrated Project Team

CVF will replace the Royal Navy's current three Invincible class aircraft carrier force with two larger, more capable vessels - the largest capital ships ever constructed in the UK or operated by the RN and the most capable carrier force outside the USA.

Dismounted Close Combat Integrated Project Team

The Dismounted Close Combat IPT procures a wide range of small arms, support weapons, ammunition and STANO (Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Night Optics) for dismounted troops.

Marine Auxilliary Systems (MXS) Integrated Project Team

The Marine Auxiliary Systems Integrated Project Team (MXS IPT) is reponsible for the provision of engineering support of marine compressed air, mechanical handling, hydraulic pumps, steering and stabiliser equipment and systems fitted in surface ships, submarines and other craft.

Future Business Group (FBG)

The Future Business Group (FBG) provides a unique bridge between the DE&S, Equipment Capability Customer (ECC) and the Science community to manage and support the transition from capability planning to equipment acquisition. The FBG relies on a clear understanding of the requirement and the ability to tackle the uncertainty associated with the early stages of the CADMID cycle. FBG-3 supports aircraft related programme.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Protection Integrated Project Team

The CBRN IPT procures CBRN Protection equipment (less medical counter measures) for the three services; as specified by our Equipment Capability Customer (DEC(CBRN)) and in close co-ordination with Dstl Porton Down.

Strategic Unmanned Air Vehicles (Experiment) Integrated Project Team

The Strategic Unmanned Air Vehicles (Experiment) IPT, or SUAV(E) IPT is responsible for directing the work required to establish the potential of Unmanned Air Vehicles.

Flight Simulation & Synthetic Trainers (FsAST) Integrated Project Team

The FsAST IPT is responsible for the acquisition and integration of air environment synthetic training for all three armed services, from concept through to disposal phases

Air Command and Control Systems Integrated Project Team

The Air Command and Control Systems IPT is part of the ISTAR Cluster in DE&S at the MOD’s Abbey Wood site in Bristol. It is a through-life IPT, managing systems from concept to disposal.

Military Afloat Reach & Sustainability Integrated Project Team

The Military Afloat Reach and Sustainability (MARS) project will provide the future Royal Navy with the ability to operate away from the UK for protracted periods of time. MARS vessels will replace many of the existing Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) fleet following their progressive retirement from service in the latter part of this decade. The project is in its Assessment Phase considering a range of options to deliver the capability.

Director General Safety and Engineering (DGSE)

Medical & General Supplies (M&GS) Integrated Project Team

The M&GS procures and manages about 200,000 line items of General Stores. Operating on a Tri-Service basis, procurement solutions to meet customer requirements centre principally on a combination of partnering arrangements with a smaller number of Industrial Prime Vendors (IPVs) and smart enabling arrangements. These arrangements cover diverse ranges from fasteners, bearings, timber and chemicals to flags, ropes accommodation stores and electrical components. In addition to supplying the commodity, the IPVs are contracted to provide a number of value added services such as rationalisation, supply chain improvements, customer and technical support.
