## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking suppliers for the "702655450 USV PAYLOADS - LIDAR SENSOR SYSTEM" as part of an open procurement process. This tender falls under the goods category, specifically classified as sensors (CPV code 35125100). The budget for the project amounts to £375,000, with a minimum value of £125,000 earmarked for the initial purchase, and the tender period will close on 21st February 2022. Deliveries are expected at a location in Portsmouth, South East England, with the contract period running from 20th March 2022 to 20th March 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced sensor technology, particularly those focused on LIDAR systems. Suppliers that can demonstrate capabilities in open interfacing and integration with existing navigational systems will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this an accessible opportunity to expand their market presence in defence technology, especially those with innovative solutions that enhance situational awareness and collision avoidance for unmanned surface vessels (USVs).

## Notice

The total budget including optional items is PS375,000.00 (excluding VAT). PS125,000.00 for initial purchase of LIDAR Sensor System. PS250,000.00 for the optional items. Navy X requires an LIDAR system, capable of enhancing the situational awareness and collision avoidance of USV's. Any candidate LIDAR needs to be open interfacing and have the ability to be integrated into existing navigational and anti-collision algorithms/behaviours. The package should enhance the distance, accuracy or speed at which these behaviours can be executed. There should also be consideration for the relationship between data availability and the bandwidth between the ground control station and existing and future NavyX USV's.
