Notice Description
The TIQUILA Programme objective is to deliver Mini-Uncrewed Air System ("MUAS") capability to provide Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance ("ISTAR") roles in Packable and Portable loads in support of field operations. The contract delivery will be the responsibility of a Systems Integrator ("SI") working in conjunction with suppliers to meet developing demands and to keep pace with emergent technology and threats. The solution and equipment provided will be evolving and modular and be upgradeable in Forward Operating Base workshops with limited basic tools to enable the system to fulfil multiple roles and maintain pace with technology and emerging threats. The contract duration is for a period of 120 months.
