Unmanned Air Systems in Urban Environments - Pre-Qualification

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) and Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) are seeking innovative technologies to enable Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) that will deliver tactical advantage and reduce threat to life for service personnel conducting operations in urban environments.

This cross-departmental requirement between DASA and DE&S (jointly referred to in this document as ‘we’) is designed for the rapid exploitation of technology and is the first of its kind. Since this differs from previous DASA calls, please read the contents of this document carefully to ensure you understand the process for applying.

This competition will be run using a framework agreement. As with all framework agreements, acceptance on the framework is not an automatic guarantee of work. We reserve the right to order less or none of the work under the framework.

To be considered for inclusion on the framework, tenderers must first complete the compulsory Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and Cyber Risk Assessment questionnaire, by Thursday 15 October at midday BST. Details of how to apply are found in Section 6.
