The procurement process aims to address the need for preventing bird strikes in flight operations through innovative solutions, with an emphasis on technical and social value criteria.

This awarded contract worth 155,000 GBP was granted to Digital Concepts Engineering Ltd, a company located in Hinckley, United Kingdom. Businesses specializing in military research and technology, particularly those offering solutions in bird prevention for UAV operations, would find this tender as an opportunity to contribute their expertise and technology to enhance flight safety and operational efficiency for the Ministry of Defence.

## Notice

Bird strike is a major risk to flight operations, for UAV's to operate safely this risk has to be mitigated and currently this can result in periods where flight operations cannot occur and also exerts significant burden upon personnel to try and mitigate this risk with sub-optimal solutions. A solution to prevent Birds entering the flight area and/or making them leave before they become a risk is required.
