## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, located in Porton Down, Salisbury, has successfully completed a tender process for the "Future Radar ES Novel Visualisation" project, which is part of the Understanding Unknowns challenge within the Future Electronic Surveillance (FES) research programme. The procurement, classified under research services (CPV code: 73110000), was conducted using a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £328,003.26, commenced on 7 January 2022 and will run until 24 June 2022. The tender period concluded on 5 January 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses skilled in advanced research services and electronic surveillance technologies. Companies that specialise in innovative visualisation techniques and signal analysis, especially those with experience in congested electromagnetic environments, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders under this programme. Engaging with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory can foster partnerships that enhance capabilities and drive forward-thinking solutions in defence research and development.

## Notice

This task is part of the Understanding Unknowns challenge within the Future Electronic Surveillance (FES) research project within the Future Sensing and Situational Awareness (FSSA) programme. Understanding Unknowns addresses the challenge of characterising, labelling and visualising signals in a congested and contested EME which have either not been previously observed, or are difficult for traditional ES systems to understand.
