Tender description

The Light Cavalry (Lt Cav) Regiments provide persistent, all weather, mounted tactical reconnaissance in the land environment across the whole mosaic of conflict and are predominantly a find, understand and influence capability. The user requires a light weight, low signature, multi-sensor Surveillance and Target Acquisition (STA) system that is man portable, vehicle mountable and will detect, recognise and identify the likely adversary at a range which enables timely and effective decision making. The project will provide a solution that is both hand-held and mast mounted, giving the user increased capability to operate in the mounted and dismounted roles. The anticipated in-service life of the capability is 10 years. Any system must have DRI ranges that exceed current capabilities with the expectation that the system can provide the user the ability to operate in all weather and all light conditions without the requirement for artificial illumination.
