## Summary

The Ministry of Defence's Rapid Capabilities Office, located in Walter's Ash, is currently conducting a tender identified as "Project GEOTONIC" for the procurement of unmanned aerial vehicles with a budget of £300,000. The contract aims to develop an Aircraft Crash Scene Mapping Solution, and the procurement process is in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 24 January 2020. A technical demonstration of the proposed solutions is scheduled for 26 February 2020, before contract commencement on 31 March 2020 and concluding on 31 March 2023.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in unmanned aerial technologies, particularly those able to produce high-resolution aerial sensors and mapping solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative approaches to aerial mapping and unmanned systems may find this contract particularly suitable, as the authority encourages competitive proposals from capable suppliers to demonstrate their products effectively in the upcoming technical demonstration.

## Notice

The Rapid Capabilities Office is inviting expressions of interest in respect of a proposed contract to demonstrate a credible route for operational capability of an Aircraft Crash Scene Mapping Solution, with an option to purchase a strictly limited number of additional units subject to further internal demand. The Authority considers that there is a need for an unmanned aerial solution with a sensor capable of producing an orthorectified image of a crash scene with a high resolution to allow all parts of the scene to be mapped correctly. The Supplier will be required to demonstrate the capability of their proposed solution in a technical demonstration to be held on February 26th 2020. The proposed solution should include the aerial platform, sensor payload and ground control station.
