Autonomous Collaborative Platform Tranche 2

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) is to help the MOD capture information and insights into the current, and future, ACP industrial landscape for a specific set of systems. This will assist the MOD to:

a. Understand new systems which are coming to market;

b. inform the viability of capability requirements, timescales and costs;

c. develop outline procurement strategies for any future acquisition of these systems;

d. shape our understanding of programme delivery and associated risk

There are currently 4 systems which the MOD would like to understand, these are:

a. Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Effects. A complete EW Effects capability should include all equipment and services required for the User to deliver EW effects against adversary Integrated Air Defence Systems, including but not limited to; Air Vehicles, EW Payloads, Ground Equipment (including control systems) and end-to-end Logistics Support.

b. Signature Managed Air Vehicle. Air Vehicles that have signature managed characteristics or capabilities to reduce detectability by Integrated Air Defence Systems.

c. One Way Air Vehicle. Cost-effective disposable one-way vehicles that can carry a variety of EW and kinetic payloads, and also be manufactured rapidly at scale.

d. Electromagnetic Warfare Payloads. EW payloads that deliver effects across the electromagnetic spectrum to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy enemy systems.

e. Autonomous Solutions. Solutions that enable varying levels of autonomy, or the fully autonomous Command and Control of Uncrewed Air Systems (UAS).
