## Description
1.	Background. Under Project ATTILA, the Authority are seeking to de-risk and accelerate future procurement of an attritable, modular, autonomous, heavy payload UGV by exploiting current in-service vehicles within a time and cost bound contract. This contract seeks to procure and spirally develop an optionally crewed minefield breaching system based on WARRIOR, capable of being used in the UK and overseas by a Royal Engineer Unit.
2.	SSUN. The Authority requires an optionally crewed attritable minefield breaching capability that can be spirally developed to de-risk and accelerate future procurement of a modular, autonomous, heavy payload Uncrewed Ground Vehicle.
3.	The project is broken down into two concurrent phases to be placed under a single contract:
a.	Phase 1. Procurement of a Minimum Deployable Capability (MDC) of up to six optionally crewed systems based on an in-service donor vehicle (WARRIOR) with Front End Equipment (FEE) for use as a Battlegroup (BG) minefield breaching capability.
b.	Phase 2. Development and iteration of MDC to move from remote to autonomous operation and refine requirements for future UGV procurement.
Please note, suppliers will be asked to confirm as part of their PSQ response that they are able to provide six optionally crewed minefield breaching systems able to generate a safe lane comparable to current in-service platforms (details to be provided as part of the PSQ). This section will be PASS/FAIL - suppliers who are unable to provide this capability in the timelines requested will be discounted from the competition.
