Contract Summary

Our goal is to accelerate the innovation of future air power through the development of technology, skills and collaborative ways of working that enable our customers to stay ahead of evolving threats.

The scope of the portal is now being expanded to cover a fourth wave of systems, capturing information in these additional areas: External/ Internal Lighting, Propulsion Integration, Weapons Effects Management, Flightpath Management, Synthetic Environment, Sensing & Non Kinetic Effects, Releasing If you feel your company has current or future capability to support any of the above system areas, we would welcome your engagement to assess your potential to participate in a generic Request for Information (RFI).
