## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is overseeing the procurement process for "Project HIGHLIGHT," aimed at developing a prototype Laser Warning Device (LWD) designed for dismounted users in the military sector. This tender, classified under military defence services, has a total budget of £180,000 and is currently in the active tender stage with a submission deadline set for 28 June 2022. The contract period is expected to run from 1 August 2022 to 1 February 2024, with potential delivery addresses across the United Kingdom and other regions, including the British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in military goods and technology development, particularly those capable of producing lightweight and power-efficient devices. Suppliers with innovative solutions in laser detection technology stand to gain from a competitive edge, thereby enhancing their growth prospects within the defence industry. Businesses that align their capabilities with the needs outlined in this project are encouraged to participate in the bidding process.

## Notice

The Authority is seeking to evaluate the capability of suppliers to develop a prototype Laser Warning Device (LWD) for dismounted users. The LWD must be low size, weight and power (e.g. could be body-worn) to support dismounted users in the detection of a wide range of battlefield laser threats.
