Notice Information

Notice Title

Coastal Radar Data Integration

Notice Description

The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) delivers accurate and real time Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) for the UK Government maritime security stakeholders. This MSA is facilitated by the Royal Navy Maritime Domain Awareness Programme. To enrich and improve the coastal surveillance data, JMSC seeks to capture coastal radar data provided by existing radar operators such as the Ministry of Defence and the Maritime Coast Guard Agency and include these in the MSA. JMSC is seeking a lead radar data integrator to manage the commercial relationship with radar providers, undertake the engineering effort needed to acquire individual radar tracks, process these, and provide these to the MDA Programme. Data products will need to be analysed and fused to provide a single clean tracks feed. All aspects of security and data compliance will need to be managed. JMSC has a number of radar suppliers already through an existing supplier and this programme will grow the radar coverage around the UK as a fully managed data service.

The appointed lead data radar integrator will be expected to manage data from 13 existing radar sites located throughout the UK coastal regions with data from c27 radar heads, and then integrate data from further additional sites through the lifetime of the contract at a rate of c5 - 8 new sites per annum. It should be noted that the appointed lead radar integrator will be required to work with the existing contracted radar site data providers (QinetiQ, Aquilla, Kongsberg and Denbridge Marine Limited) throughout the lifetime of the contract. The potential length of this contract will be up to 5 years in total. The content of this PIN, including the nature of works, services and estimated value, may be subject to change.
