This notice concerns the establishment of a framework agreement regarding the acquisition of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). The framework agreement will have a duration of 7 years.
The UGV capacity is used by the Danish forces to obtain intelligence of enemy activities in unobserved closed areas such as urban areas, buildings, ships etc. when deployed on missions. The UGV shall be a moving platform with one or multiple sensors which shall make the operator able to indentify armed enemies, booby traps etc. in both daylight and in complete darkness. The UGV shall be controlled and operated by a HMI (Human Machine Interface). As the UGV capacity is deployed on missions, high durability is required and the UGV shall be able to withstand drops on hard surfaces such as concrete and pavement without losing functionality. In order to ensure successful operations, the UGV shall in addition be small, have a high mobility and be subject to a maximum weight of 3,5 kg as one soldier shall be able to throw it upwards, through open windows into buildings, over walls etc. The UGV shall be a MOTS (Military Off-The-Shelf) product previously delivered to a NATO country. The framework agreement also covers spare parts, education, repair and documentation.The purchaser is using Mercell Sourcing Services for this tender (http://permalink.mercell.com/64703569.aspx.)
