The capability shall be delivered compliant to all applicable regulations, with minimal impact on Kirkwall Airport's operations, by upgrading, replacing or adding to the core components of the current DVOR.

The successful technical solution will involve the replacement of the DVOR electronics and associated Remote Control and Monitoring System and the re-use of each of the existing cabin, counterpoise and DME. DVOR and DME antennas are to remain at the current coordinates.
