An urgent requirement has been identified for the provision of aviation support to BATUK in the form of Medical Evacuation (Air Medevac), Range Clearance Services and General Aviation Support Activities.

Prospective attendees should confirm their interest in attending this event no later than the 3.6.2016.

This service is required to be available 24/7 on a 365 day basis, i.e. the service provider must be able to operate by day and by night. Range Clearance and General Aviation Support (Lot 2): BATUK require a capability to ensure that the training and range areas are clear of humans, livestock and wildlife prior to military exercises taking place.
