## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has awarded a contract for the project titled "Limits on Electromagnetic Activities (EMA)" under the Research laboratory services category. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with a contract value of £199,526 in GBP. The contract period spans from 18th September 2022 to 18th March 2023, with the tender period closing on 4th August 2022. The project location is in Fareham, England, with the main focus being on exploring limitations on delivering EM effects through a mathematical workshop.

This tender by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory offers an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the research and consultancy services sector, to participate in cutting-edge research activities around electromagnetic capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in mathematics, electromagnetic research, and technology development would be well-suited to submit proposals for this project. The contract not only fosters innovation within the industry but also supports collaborative efforts in advancing electromagnetic technologies for electronic attack, defence, and surveillance applications.

## Notice

To conduct three Lots of research activity into constrained1 or derived process2 limits on EMA3. Under the EMA Programme, the Electromagnetic Research and Science (ERAS) Project intends to identify fundamental Science and Technology (S&T) to surpass limitations, as to achieve generation after next EMA capabilities specifically associated with electronic attack, electronic defence, and tactical electronic surveillance and also synchronisation and coordination. This requirement looks to pursue three distinct methods for exploring limits, separated into three Lots . Lot 3 will utilise mathematics to identify and/or analyse constrained or derived process limitations on delivering EM effects through challenges posed at an academic workshop. This workshop will be three to five days in duration. A physical-virtual hybrid workshop approach is the preference, though a virtual workshop shall remain an option if required at short notice.
