What is being bought
The overall aim of a drone Detect, Track, and Identify (DTI) capability is to detect, locate, track, and identify the presence of an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) (and potentially the controller), providing airspace awareness, and enabling them to take relevant action to mitigate any threats posed by the detected drone(s).
This Request for Information is part of an information gathering exercise to support future direction and decision making in developing the national drone airspace management and intelligence capability, and to identify the most suitable options for future procurement.

We are interested in different technologies, as well as multi-sensor systems. We are interested in systems that can be deployed in fixed-locations, temporarily deployable (for example in support of major events), or mobile. We are also interested in low-cost, wide-area solutions that can help provide air picture understanding across large parts of the country. This Request for Information (RFI) and any future related procurement(s) will be managed electronically via the Home Office's e-Sourcing Portal (JAGGAER). To participate, suppliers must first be registered on the e-Sourcing Portal. All requests for clarification or further information in respect of this RFI should be submitted via Jaggaer.
