This programme will deliver a route proving and clearance capability that will be used by the UK Armed Forces to help enhance the safety and security of British soldiers.

The MSDA role includes the management of the design, procurement, installation,
test and acceptance of TALISMAN-specific equipment into the Mastiff 2 and Buffalo vehicles, which will be provided by the MoD. The equipment to be installed includes sensors, weapon stations and a suite of UK theatre-entry protection and communications equipment.
