Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is planning a procurement exercise for a "Threat Detection and Warning System" designed for Terrier Armoured Vehicles, classified under the goods category, specifically related to mine detection apparatus. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a virtual demonstration expected to be requested in Q2 2021. A physical capability demonstration is scheduled for Q3 or Q4 2021, subject to potential adjustments due to National COVID-19 restrictions. The procurement process is initiated as a tender, and interested parties are encouraged to register via the e-Tendering system available at www.contracts.mod.uk.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in defence technology and systems integration, particularly those focused on developing automated detection systems and enhancing military vehicle capabilities. Companies with expertise in sensor technology and systems that can operate independently of the vehicle's power sources, as well as those experienced in virtual demonstrations, would be particularly well-placed to compete. Engaging in this procurement could also lead to further integration projects with the Ministry of Defence, potentially expanding business operations within the defence sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Threat Detection and Warning System for Terrier Armoured Vehicles

Notice Description

The aim of this project is to develop a threat detection and warning system for current in-service armoured vehicles. The system should be able to identify explosive ordnance threats at various ranges, whilst the vehicle operators are closed down under armour, with limited situational awareness. This system should significantly reduce the cognitive burden on the operator and utilise the current vehicle vision capabilities (if possible). Ideally, the system will work both, while the vehicle is stationary and in motion. We expect the system to already be under development, with a virtual demonstration being requested in Q2 2021. At this initial stage, we assess the threat detection system will bolt on to a demonstration vehicle. The system, at this initial stage, shall not alter the vehicle platform in any way, this includes not drilling of any holes or screwing into the vehicle platform. The system will also need to power itself at this stage, it cannot source power from the demonstration vehicle. If successfully demonstrated, further integration would be explored. A physical capability demonstration is being planned for Q3 or Q4 2021, however, this could change depending on National COVID-19 restrictions. A demonstration window will be provided once an expression of interest and initial assessment has been made.
