This engagement, tagged under the planning stage, will include a Market Engagement Event (MEE) on 3rd December 2024 and registration for participation must be completed by 27th November 2024. The procurement process aims to realise the new systems from the mid-2030s, complementing existing defence roles provided by the Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyers. The main product categories involve goods and specialised equipment such as warships, radar equipment, and combat suits. This tender offers excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in the defence and aerospace industries, particularly those with expertise in air and missile defence, radar technology, and long-range precision strike systems. Companies capable of providing critical components and systems under a 'system of systems' approach will find this engagement beneficial. The MoD seeks innovative solutions and strategic partnerships to tackle advanced air and space threats, allowing successful bidders to contribute significantly to national security and defence projects. Engaging in this procurement process can enhance a company's profile and lead to long-term collaborative relationships with the UK defence sector. ## Notice The Future Air Dominance System (FADS) Team within Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority") is seeking to engage with suppliers for the purposes of gaining a clearer understanding of current market capabilities and offerings which may be relevant to FADS.
