## Notice

Dstl wants to purchase a commercial-off-the-shelf, Remote command & Control system with multi-drive Dynamic Positioning (RC&DP) capability for its remote controlled surface platform.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Dstl is developing a prototype Remote Controlled Surface Platform (RCSP) that will be used in naval trials to assist in the recovery of explosive ordnance from the seabed. The RC&DP will be used to position, control and navigate the Remote Control Surface Platform to the ordnance location and then maintain position and heading whilst the winch is in operation. Once the ordnance is raised, the RC&DP system will then be used to navigate the RCSP to a different location suitable for release and/or disposal of the ordnance.
