Mission and Objectives
This section describes the background and the bounds of the TLE project.
1.1
Objective of TLMP
The objective of this Through Life Management Plan (TLMP) is to provide the single
source of strategic management information for the Target Locator Equipment
(TLE) programme and provides access to more detailed information required by
staff and others to manage their activities. This document is owned by the
Dismounted Soldier Systems (DSS) Project Team (PT) and is managed by the
Project Board (in particular DSS-STA-Proj1). This document provides a single
planning focal point for all team members and stakeholders and is the access point
to the detailed ‘knowledge base’ and planning documentation. It is the authoritative
document for the management of the programme and will contain the latest agreed
versions of schedules, objectives, strategies, plans etc. Persons requiring access to
the key documents referenced throughout this TLMP should note that many have
protective markings and some also have commercial restrictive markings.
1.2
Project Overview
The TLE project is a category D single gate procurement project aimed at delivering
a replacement for the currently in-service LH40c TLE system to support Fire
Support Teams (FST), in particular for the Mortar Fire Controller and Forward
Observation Officer of the Mortar Division and Royal Artillery respectively. The
project is currently in the Assessment Phase, post Pre Qualification Questionnaire
(PQQ) with Trials Contracts being issued.
The TLE project will provide a handheld system that will deliver a rapid, simple and
precise method of determining range, bearing and inclination in order that, when
combined with own position data, will give accurate location of a sighted target and
allow for fall of shot corrections.
The TLE project will deliver a system that will provide a 24 hour surveillance
capability, with the same target recognition performance, with improved mobility
over the current in-service system.
The TLE project will provide a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) or Military Off The
Shelf (MOTS) solution that will be tested by the Infantry Trials and Development
Unit (ITDU) and XXX with the aim of achieving acceptance against all Key User
Requirements (KURs) which can be found in Annex A.
1.3
Military and Capability Context
The proposed Single Statement of User Needs states that: “TLE must provide the
Mortar Fire Controller and Forward Observation Officer with a rapid, simple and
precise method of determining range, bearing and inclination in order that when
combined with accurate own position data will give accurate location of a sighted
target and fall of shot corrections.’’1

TLE will support the role of Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and
Reconnaissance (ISTAR) by replacing the current LH40c TLE equipment as it
comes to the end of its service life.
Figure 1 Operational Graphic2.
TLE will be used as an offensive capability for Dismounted Close Combat (DCC). It
will primarily be used in support of Hasty Attack for which the TLE is the primary
means of accurate fire control. In this role it is assumed that the TLE will be used
by the Alpha Mortar Fire Controller (MFC) and Fire Support Team (FST).

Project Status and Approvals
The TLE project is an EP programme introduced by a PR09 Option, with funding
allocated in 09/10, 10/11 and 11/12. TLE is a single gate CAT D project and is
currently in the Assessment Phase. Main Gate approval is planned for May 2010.
DSS PT has down selected 3 potential suppliers via a Pre Qualification
Questionnaire process. Trials contracts have now been issued to these suppliers to
provide equipment for planned trails in January. An Invitation To Tender (ITT) will
be released concurrent with the trials.
1.7
Assumptions, Constraints and Drivers
The existing TLE equipment LH40c is approaching its OSD. In order to maintain a
light weight and mobile ISTAR capability the TLE programme is required to replace
the hand held TLE system to the designated User Community as defined by D Inf.
It is assumed that the TLE capability will be required for 10 years with an In Service
Date (ISD) of July 2011 (50%) an OSD of May 2022. It is expected that there will be
at least TLE systems distributed according to the TLE fielding plan which is
assumed to be similar to the SSARF fielding plan of September 2009. As at this
issue of the TLMP, there are no improvements or upgrades expected. Detailed
project assumptions, with their associated owners, can be found in the Master Data
and Assumptions List (MDAL) at Annex H.
1.8
Project Objectives
The objective of the TLE project is to replace and, where possible, improve the
current TLE system. This shall be accomplished by meeting the required levels of
capability defined in the URD and SRD, by provisioning a hand held target locator
equipment.
The top level needs for the TLE are to replace the current LH40c system with a
system that is small and light, yet offers 24 hr passive surveillance and detection
capability and which also provides fall of shot information.

Strategies
This section contains the high level Strategies mapped by DLODs that guide and
drive the TLE project. An overview project “plan on a page” detailing the major
milestones of the project can be found at Annex E.
3.1
TLM Strategy
Through Life Management is set in accordance with the Acquisition Operating
Framework (AOF) guidelines. It provides a whole life system outlook, using system
engineering principles throughout the CADMID lifecycle from Concept phase to final
Disposal, across all DLODs. In so doing it will provide the tools to produce better
informed, more timely decision making (through the TLMP). It will also proactively
engage stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle enabling better through life
thinking and producing achievable targets that are then agreed within a defined
stakeholder community.
The TLMP will be owned by the DSS PT and managed by the Programme Manager
(STA-Proj1). The first issue will be produced and distributed to stakeholders and will
be updated thereafter following the achievement of significant project milestones, or
at least on an annual basis. The TLMP will fulfil two main functions within the
project; it will act as an information management tool that will allow for strategic
through life decision making to occur It will provide a single planning focal point for
all DSS PT members and stakeholders and act as the access point to the detailed
‘knowledge base’ and planning documentation.
3.2
Training DLOD
The TLE system will require specialist training and a Train the Trainer package will
be a contractual deliverable placed on the prime contractor, with a tailored schedule
to be produced once the contract is let. A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is
currently not planned to be produced for this system.
In addition, the TLE system will be supplied with relevant military format technical
documentation (e.g. AESP, Inf Pubs) by the prime contractor.
3.3
Equipment DLOD
3.3.1
Procurement Strategy
The procurement strategy3 for TLE is based on competitively assessed tendered
solutions. A Potential Future Purchase (PFP) has been advertised in the Defence
Contracts Bulletin and responders will be invited to go through a Pre-Qualification
Questionnaire (PQQ) to enable a short list to be produced. Following assessment of
these responses a Trial Equipment Contract will be issued to procure equipment for
Trials. Concurrently an Invitation To Tender (ITT) will be produced and issued to
those companies selected for trials.
ITT responses are expected by the end of the trials period. A Tender Assessment
Panel (TAP) will be set up comprising all relevant stakeholders to select a prime
contractor based upon results from trials and their response to the ITT.

Procurement Strategy for the TLE, REF:DSS/20/165/13
Page 14
Following MG Approval of the proposed system, contract negotiations will be
concluded with the selected supplier for the provision of production quantities of
systems and their support.
It is envisaged that CLS support will be provided on an Ad Hoc basis, when repairs
beyond Maintenance Level 1 are needed.
3.3.2
Risk Strategy
The TLE project does not have a separate Risk Management Plan (RMP), but
operates under the umbrella of DE&S Risk policy. TLE is fully compliant with the
DE&S risk policy and strategy following guidance from JSP 525.
3.3.3
Transition Strategy
There are no planned capability upgrades or improvements to the TLE capability
beyond ISD and final product acceptance. The in service life for TLE is planned for
10 years. Any costs beyond the figures detailed in Annex H will be met either via
review notes by CAP GM or by moving funds from other procurement projects.
3.3.4
Requirements Management Strategy
Acceptance Strategy - The acceptance of the TLE military capability will be based
on the progressive accumulation of evidence to form a reasoned, auditable
acceptance case to support a decision on whether the system satisfies the
Technical Solution, URD and SRD as illustrated below in Figure 4. This process will
record both success and failure together with the rationale for any additional
required activities with the associated success criteria.
Figure 5 System Engineering ‘V’ Diagram
3.4
Personnel DLOD
3.4.1
Safety and Environment Strategy
TLE Safety and Environment Management will comply with the DSS PT Safety,
Equipment Management Strategy (SEMS) and is in accordance with the limits set
within DEF STAN 00-56
SSARF safety philosophy is applied with guidance from JSP 454 and additional
information ensuring equipment safety will also be used in production of the
Programme Safety Management Plan (PSMP).
Page 15
3.5
Information DLOD
3.5.1
Operational Information
Currently there is an aspiration to have a TLE Networked Enabled Capability,
however due to the timelines for the development and fielding of the TLE system,
and with there being little scope for the addition of bespoke elements to the MOTS
or COTS system, it is expected that Networked Enabled elements will be
incorporated when TLE is in service.
In the interim, TLE will use an external in service GPS system and will use an
external in service communication system (most probably the Future Integrated
Soldier Technology (FIST) system).
3.5.2
Non Operational Information
Documentation associated with the TLE project will be held by the relevant
responsible stakeholder. The URD and SRD and ITEA database will be produced
and held in a DOORS system, with DOORS managing the linkages between the
documents.
3.6
Doctrine and Concepts DLOD
The development of Doctrine and Concepts underpins the work on several other
lines of development, especially those of Personnel, Organisation and Training.
The TLE Concept of Employment – CONEMP (V1.1 dated 19 July 2009) will form
the basis of the TLE Concept of Use (CONUSE) post Main Gate with the ultimate
output from this process being tactical doctrine to inform the user on how to employ
the system. It will be necessary to ensure that the use of TLE remains coherent
with the concepts being developed for training systems and environments.
3.7
Organisation DLOD
It is not foreseen that any changes will need to be made to the current LH40c
organisational requirements.
3.8
Infrastructure DLOD
Current Infrastructure is maintained by HQ Land Forces and it is envisaged that the
additional requirements of TLE will be minimal with little to no changes required to
the current LH40c infrastructure.
However, if the TLE system were later to become further “network enabled” then
infrastructure would need to be revisited to scope whether changes were needed.
3.9
Logistics DLOD
3.9.1
Support Aim
The aim of the support strategy of the TLE project is to maximise the operational
availability of the TLE system in the most cost effective manner.
Page 16
3.9.2
Support Strategy
The TLE system support strategy will be achieved through the application of ILS
methodology in accordance with DEFSTAN 00-60. TLE will also fully comply with
the Support Solutions Envelope (SSE). The TLE system will be procured to support
a minimum annual Peace time usage of 730 hours per equipment. Sufficient
capacity will be further provided to support an operation peak of XXX hrs over a six
month period per deployed equipment, with an annual budget of XXX hrs per
deployed equipment. XXX hours TBD.
Software support is highly likely due to the technology within TLE. The Contractor’s
Software Support Capability will need to cover all software used in any part of the
system.
LSA Strategy. The Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) Strategy identifies how the LSA
tasks will be tailored to meet the needs of the TLE when analysing and optimising
the proposed equipment and its support environment.
The LSA Strategy has yet to be produced.
3.9.3
Security Strategy
The Security Strategy has yet to be produced.
3.10
Interoperability
TLE has several dependencies on other systems currently in service or being
brought in to service. Interoperability issues are highlighted to CIWG and are then
considered and resolved.
Page 17
4
Plans and Processes
This section contains the plans and processes used by DSS PT to meet the
Strategies identified in Section 3. Within this section each plan and process will be
examined in terms of the related DLOD mirroring Section 3 – Strategies.
4.1
Training DLOD
Detailed planning information for the Training DLOD is to be based on the FIST
TNA that is currently in development.
4.2
Equipment DLOD
4.2.1
Procurement Plan
Procurement will be spread through from FY10/11 until FY11/12 and it is expected
that the expenditure will tail off significantly by FY12/13. The total CDEL is
expected to be £XXX. There has also been £XXX identified for support over the 10
years of expected equipment life. More detailed project plans relating to
procurement can be found at Annex E, G and Section 5 of this report.
4.2.2
Risk Plan
The Risk Management Plan is a description of how risk is to be managed within a
project. It defines roles, responsibilities, methodology, tools and techniques. A TLE
risk register containing the high level programme risks can be found in Annex F.
The Risk Management process is detailed below:
Figure 6
Risk Management Process
Identification: The objective of the identification stage is to identify the widest
possible categories of Risks associated with the programme. At this stage, DSS PT
will ensure that all TLE stakeholders are consulted and understand the
requirements of the project.
Assessment: The objective in this phase is to assist in the prioritisation of the
identified risks. All risks within the TLE project will be analysed to determine their
probability of occurrence and likely impact.
Page 18
Planning: The objective of the planning stage is to establish what action should be
taken to manage the risks. The actions will be prioritised accordingly and important
decisions and the reasons for the action taken recorded.
Management: This is the formulation of the management plan. As TLE is a
Category D project it will operate under the umbrella of the DSS Risk Management
Plan.
4.2.3
Transition Plan
The transition costs between EP spend and Short Term Plan (STP) spend through
the life of the TLE project are detailed in Annex G.
4.2.4
Requirements Management
ITEA Plan – The Integrated Test Evaluation and Acceptance Plan (ITEAP) is owned
by the DSS Project Team and managed by the DSS Requirements Manager. It is
part of a set of documents used in DSS PT for Requirements and Acceptance
Management. Key requirement and acceptance documents include the TLE
Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF), the URD and the SRD. The
plan will be updated regularly as decisions are made and as the project progresses
through the CADMID cycle.
It is envisaged that the two principal Acceptance Events; System Acceptance and
In-Service Date will form the basis of TLE acceptance.
System Acceptance will take place by agreement of the DSS PT that the
candidate system has satisfied the terms of contract. This will be achieved by
verifying and declaring contractual conformance with each SRD requirement. Also
before the system acceptance can take place DSS PT must have qualified and
certified the equipment and have deemed it fit for purpose.
In-Service Date will occur when the capability across all the DLODs come together
to deliver the required TLE military capability and the system is therefore deemed
as available for operational use in its minimum deployable form.
4.3
Personnel DLOD
4.3.1
Safety and Environment Management Plan

4.4
Information DLOD
4.4.1
Operational Information
TLE will be used alongside the current in service GPS system. There are also
aspirations for a FIST/BOWMAN interface. TLE will be used alongside these other
systems and will not integrate directly with them.
4.4.2
Configuration Control
TLMP - The TLMP is an active document which must contain the latest relevant
information, and will be reviewed on a regular basis by the owner (TLE project
Page 19
team). The reviews will take place during project meetings which coincide with
major programme milestones. Stakeholders are involved in these meetings,
however if the plan is to be re-issued it will first be promulgated to ALL stakeholders
for comment and acceptance. All comments will be fed back to the TLMP owner for
inclusion into the re-issued TLMP.
Non Operational Information - A schematic indicating the signoff process for TLE
documentation can be found at Annex I.
4.5
Organisation DLOD
The TLE systems will be distributed to the various user groups as needed. The
confirmed fleet distributions will be decided at a later date in accordance with the
TLE fielding plan that is currently under development.
4.6
Infrastructure DLOD
The existing infrastructure is maintained by HQ Land Forces and the internal
provision of training systems and services are maintained by DSS PT and D InF.
These facilities provide comprehensive support to similar systems and it is
envisaged that the additional requirements of TLE will be minimal.
4.7
Logistics DLOD
4.7.1
Integrated Logistics Support Plan (ILSP)
The aim of the ILSP (reference DCC/20/165) is to identify and document the logistic
requirements and constraints; describe the required logistic actions, tasks and
milestones and ensure that all relevant ILS elements and tasks are considered.
Logistic Support Committee (LSC) Meeting will be attended by the MILSM and his
team will be held to discuss the ILS processes and status of the TLE project in
greater depth these meetings will be held quarterly. The results/actions of the each
LSC meeting will be documented by DSS PT and reviewed by the MILSM prior to
distribution.
Due to low system numbers required () the preferred support solution for TLE is adhoc repair, with a spares pack through traditional Joint Supply Chain (JSC) support.
The contractor shall suggest an Initial Spares Pack (with costings) of all Level 1
spares to support the equipment for the first two years of its In Service life, with
options for a further three years. The initial spares requirement is funded from within
the EP and will be procured and placed in the Supply Chain to support the defined
levels of usage.
The maintenance policy for the TLE system will be based on Level 1 repairs at 1st
Line and Level 2 annual equipment inspection at 1st Line. The contractor will carry
out all other level repairs at 4th line. All repairs will be conducted by the Contractor
will be processed through the JSC.
LSA Plan. The Tenderer shall prepare and submit a Logistic Support Analysis Plan
(LSAP), in accordance with DEF STAN 00-60 UK DID 0002, as part of the ISP in
accordance with the ILS SOW (Ref DSS 20/165).
4.7.2
Obsolescence and Disposal
The Contractor shall supply information relating to disposal, both in-service and end
of life, to include; the supply of equipment disposal costs, the identification of all
Page 20
Safety, Health and Environmental hazards associated with disposal. This
information will include disposal instructions for all identified hazards including:
a) The policy and procedure for the disposal of items consumed in routine and
operational use.
b) The policy and procedure for the bulk disposal of back-loaded items.
c) The environmental impacts of disposal.
It is envisaged that all routine disposal will take place at Contractors site, however
unusual circumstances of use decree that details of localised disposal/destruction
are addressed.
4.7.3
Support Solutions Envelope (SSE)
The DSS Project Team is aware of the SSE requirements for TLE, as defined within
the AOF. The SSE elements are currently under development by the MILSM.

Resources
5.1
Whole Life Costs
The Through Life Finance (TLF) cost of TLE is £XXX at 50% confidence, inclusive
of 10 years support.
It is unknown who will become the prime contractor for the Demonstration,
Manufacture and initial In service phase. However estimated costs have been
based on the procurement of similar systems.
The following cost estimates have been calculated:
5.2
Resources Costs (RDEL)
-
XXXX £M
Capital Costs (CDEL)
-
XXXX £M
Master Data and Assumptions List (MDAL)
The figures above have all been based upon the major assumption that the TLE will
have a similar cost to a comparable system that is currently being procured and will
have a service life of 10 years with an ISD 2011 and OSD 2022. A project MDAL
containing the major data and assumptions affecting the programme has also been
produced and can be found at Annex H.

Evaluation of Success
6.1
TLMP Review Process and Updates
The TLMP is an active document which must contain the latest relevant information,
and will be reviewed on a regular basis by the owner (or on behalf of the owner by
the TLE project team). The reviews will take place during project meetings which
coincide with major programme milestones. Stakeholders are involved in these
meetings, however if the plan is to be re-issued it will first be promulgated to ALL
stakeholders for comment and acceptance. All comments will be fed back to the
TLMP owner for inclusion into the re-issued TLMP.
6.2
Accepted Milestones
TLE acceptance will be based upon two major system acceptance events:
System Acceptance will be agreed by DSS PT upon the verification that the system
is fully conformant and satisfies the contractual requirements of the SRD at all
levels. Before System acceptance can take place DSS PT will have to qualify and
certify the equipment as fit for purpose taking into account human factors,
sustainability, logistic support issues and the users’ CONEMP and CONUSE.
In-Service Date will be declared by the Sponsor when the full capability comprising
all the DLoDs come together to deliver the required TLE military capability and the
system is assessed as available for operational use in its minimum deployable form.
6.3
Success Criteria
A matrix detailing the TLE project success criteria, across the CADMID cycle and
ordered by DLOD can be found at Annex J.
6.4
Post Project Evaluation Plan
The Post Project Evaluation (PPE) Plan will be conducted after ISD and will be
reviewed annually at progress meetings in line with the extension of the support
solution.
