However, it is not possible to increase the number of shooting exercises at the shooting range. To this end, the end-users have looked for alternatives that can be used outside this range and which can even be used individually, independent of location and time. The purpose of the need is, in most cases, to save valuable ammunition and practice capacity at the various shooting ranges and to receive immediate feedback on the implementation. Nevertheless, this should never be a substitute for Live Firing Exercises, training exercises and O&T. Therefore, the Command Materiel and IT is searching for a good solution in terms of a weapon trainer system. The requirements for the weapon trainers shall be in accordance with the EU rules and regulations. Interoperability will be guaranteed due to the fact that the system is a Military of the Shelf (MOTS) product. 1.1.1 Contracting Authority and end user The contracting authority is the Materiel and IT Command of the Ministry of Defence, the Netherlands. The Materiel and IT Command ensures that military personnel have modern, robust and safe materiel and IT to work with.
