Description

Procurement of a scalable, affordable, non-energetic FPV training capability to deliver increased training mass under the RAPSTONE programme. A competitive procurement will be used to test the market and secure value for money, taking account of current technology, supplier capacity and support solutions. Final quantities will be determined through competition, with lessons identified from FPV Tranches 1 and 2 informing the final User Requirement Document. This represents the final planned FPV training tranche under the current UBIQUITY approach and is distinct from the operational Armed FPV capability requirement.
