        "description": "We are seeking input from industry on current Command & Control (C2) system capabilities. In particular, we are interested in solutions that can ingest and fuse data from multiple, widely distributed sensors (across different technologies and manufacturers), as well as additional data streams, to produce a common operating picture that can support situational awareness, intelligence and front-line operations in counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) policing. We are also interested in both integrated and stand-alone data analysis tools that support the generation, interpretation and exploitation of the common operating picture.\nThis 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. No approach of any kind in connection with this RFI should be made to any other person within, or associated with, the Authorities.\nShould you wish to participate, please follow the below steps:\n1.\tRegister your organisation on the Home Office eSourcing portal at https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com and follow the link 'To register click here', or confirm access to your existing account.\n2.\tRegister your interest in the Home Office - Drone Detection 'Command and Control' System RFI exercise via email to CollaborativeProcurement@homeoffice.gov.uk ensuring the subject line is as follows: HSG CDU – C2 RFI Supplier Interest.\n3.\tYou will then be added to the Jaggaer project and the RFI will be shared via the portal.\nWe will be requesting RFI responses be returned via the portal by 12:00 Thursday 25th June 2026."
