Morpheus is the name of the programme that will deliver the next generation tactical communications system to the British Armed Forces.

In 2016, the MoD publicised plans to replace the existing Bowman communications system with a system named Morpheus. The Morpheus programme was supposed to be operational by 2025, but has been mired in delays and is now not expected to enter service until the next decade.

The procurement of Morpheus is being led by the Battlefield And Tactical Communications and Information Systems (BATCIS) Delivery Team, part of Defence Digital, formerly the Information Systems & Services (ISS), at MoD Abbey Wood.

In November 2014 an acquisition strategy paper was released which described a two-part assessment phase to examine the feasibility of the principal approaches of "Sustain", "Evolve", or "Replace" the Bowman system.

A "Systems House" branded Neo was appointed following a competition, comprising a consortium of PA Consulting, QinetiQ, Roke Manor and CGI. Their role was:

to generate high level technical architectures and business constructs against the MORPHEUS requirement and to provide corresponding performance, cost, time and risk data, with requirement impact assessment, to enable the Authority to assess Acquisition Options and identify requirement trades.

In September 2015, it was announced that the "Replace" option was not viable and that the chosen approach was to evolve from Bowman through the appointment of a transition partner and other suppliers, to deliver an open agile system, which would be known as Evolve to Open (EvO).

The £330m contract for EvO was awarded to General Dynamics UK in April 2017.
