## Summary

The Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom has awarded contracts to Blue Bear Systems Research Ltd and Intrepid Minds Ltd for a tender related to Military research and technology services. The procurement method used was selective with a procurement stage described as "Restricted". The description of the contract involves the creation of a modular and automated loiter munition and UAS storage and launch POD(S) for multi domain use, with trials to be conducted on land and at sea.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the defence services industry, particularly those involved in military research and technology. Companies well-suited to compete are those capable of developing modular and automated systems for cross-domain use, demonstrating innovation in loitering munitions launch technology. The tender provides a chance for businesses to showcase their technical capabilities in delivering cross-domain modular systems in the defence sector.

## Notice

FCG has been tasked with creating a concept demonstration of a modular and automated loiter munition and UAS storage and launch POD(S) for multi domain use, to include trials on land and at sea, in order to accelerate the development of a cross domain modular system. Currently there are no in-service, cross domain (land/sea) automated, multiple loitering munitions launch systems. The benefits of such a system are that it can be deployed rapidly from either a maritime or land-based platform to prosecute targets at land and/or sea and would generate coherence across those domains. Navy Command requires the delivery of a capability concept demonstration of a modular style 'plug and play' loitering munition automated launch and storage POD(s) to demonstrate cross domain capabilities firing loitering munitions with the aim of UK trials. This should be through four live/inert firing trials.
