According to the company, in the initial phase Roke is leading on the development of the user interface including the human factors related design and associated training needs analysis for I3M.
Team Mercury also comprises LMUK IS&GS Security as prime, while IBM UK, Roke and Actica Consulting and will provide the MOD with an initial equipment delivery in September 2012 and the final equipment delivery in July 2013.
