## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently conducting a selective tender for the development of a Laser Warning Device (LWD) aimed at military defence services, with a focus on creating a prototype for dismounted users. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the deadline for submitting the Detailed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (DPQQ) responses extended to 17th January 2022. The final prototype is expected within 12 months of contract initiation, with all activities centred in Swindon, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in defence technology, particularly those specialising in military equipment and engineering solutions. Companies with the capacity to innovate lightweight and power-efficient devices will be particularly competitive. The use of an e-Tendering system allows for streamlined interactions, making it accessible for both primary suppliers and subcontractors to engage and express their interest, ultimately contributing to potential growth in the defence sector.

## 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. The intention will be to obtain a completed final prototype within 12 months
