## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has initiated a public procurement process titled "LR-TRED-F2," which focuses on the provision of non-piloted aircraft systems designed for autonomous long-distance operations. This tender falls under the goods category and has a contract value of £118,968. The tender period concluded on 29 September 2021, with the contract period effective from 1 November 2021 to 31 March 2022. The requirement was advertised through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and delivery is to the location specified in Salisbury, England, postcode SP4 0JQ.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in unmanned aerial systems and related technologies, particularly those capable of innovating in long-range autonomous operational capabilities. Companies that design and manufacture non-piloted aircraft, global navigation, and positioning systems may find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts within the defence sector. The award has already been granted to Malloy Aeronautics Limited, which indicates a robust market for suppliers who can meet the innovative technical requirements set forth by the DSTL.

## Notice

The principle of the system is to allow an operator to upload a mission to the Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems and for it then to autonomously conduct long distance flying serials (ideally Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS)) to deliver or collect a payload at extended ranges. Requirement was advertised on DSTL R-Cloud Framework.
