This project falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on electronic warfare systems and countermeasures. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including a market engagement event scheduled for 11:00 on 28th July 2022 and a deadline for registration by 23:59 on 27th July 2022. The primary location for delivery is within the UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in defence technology, particularly those specialising in unmanned systems, electronic warfare, and related innovations. Companies that are agile and capable of developing marinised, robust systems that can be easily deployed and operated will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement can help businesses align with the Ministry of Defence's strategic priorities while contributing to the growing demand for advanced defence solutions. ## Notice Defence has an enduring requirement for a capability to detect and defeat uncrewed air systems (UAS) across all environments - and the Royal Navy is engaging with the market around the opportunities to continually develop counter UAS technology to match the rapid development of UAS use and technology in a maritime environment. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Requirement Defence has an enduring requirement for a capability to detect and defeat uncrewed air systems (UAS) across all environments - and the Royal Navy is engaging with the market around the opportunities to continually develop counter UAS technology to match the rapid development of UAS use and technology in a maritime environment.
