3. Contract type: Supply contract
4. Description: This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the The Awarding Authority to conduct a preliminary market engagement exercise. This is NOT an Invitation to Tender (ITT), a Request for Quotation (RFQ), or any other form of procurement. The Authority is not committed to any future procurement activity as a result of this RFI.
The proliferation of affordable, long-range, jet-powered One-Way Effector Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (OWE-UAV) presents a significant and evolving threat to both deployed forces and critical national infrastructure. These threats exploit advantages in cost and volume, making traditional kinetic air defence solutions economically unviable and leading to the potential saturation of existing layered defence systems.
The purpose of this RFI is to understand the current industry landscape and maturity of a capability to counter jet-powered OWE-UAV. The information gathered will be used to inform the Authority’s strategic planning and to potentially refine future requirements around the development, production and support of such a capability.
Please see further details and response instructions in document.
