Description
This PIN is the first within a series informing Industry of the strategic direction of the Land Ground Based Air Defence (Land GBAD) Programme. The intent of this PIN is to provide notification of a planned Market Interest Day to be held in October 2022 (venue in Bristol); which will seek the views from Industry Partners to as (as to) how the identified threats are to be addressed and capabilities integrated across the Programme. The Authority would welcome innovative ideas, insights and perspectives from Industry Partners on how the Land GBAD capability requirement can be addressed including the potential for industry and MOD collaboration.
Total Quantity or Scope
The Land GBAD Programme has been established in response to Army’s requirement for a fully integrated Air Defence system of systems. This is a Category A Government Major Project Portfolio (GMPP) programme. This will be an enduring capability that will be delivered through incremental capability uplifts over the next 10 years. The identified Single Statement of User Need (SSUN) for Land GBAD is stated as: “Land GBAD must provide sufficient, effective capability to warn, inform, deter and defeat all air threats (including aircraft, missiles, munitions, and UAS), in order to prevent adversary interference from the air inhibiting Joint Force freedom of manoeuvre. Land GBAD will provide lethal and non-lethal defeat mechanisms and minimise the risk it presents to friendly and neutral air users. It will be deployable on multi-domain operations, integrated, scalable up to divisional level, and in joint and multi-national operations to Protect, Engage, Constrain and Fight”. Identified capabilities to be delivered and enhanced by the Land GBAD programme include: • Short-Range Air Defence (SHORAD); • Medium-Range Air Defence (M-RAD); • Counter Small Aerial Targets (C-SAT) for SHORAD and MRAD; and • All Arms Counter Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (All Arms C-sUAS). These capabilities will be incrementally delivered as a multifaceted and multi-layered programme over a 10-year period. Aerial threats to be targeted range from Class 1 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) including swarms, artillery, munitions, Attack Helicopters and Fixed Wing Aircraft, with potential for larger munitions and the introduction of future novel weapons. The Market Interest Day is a briefing from the Authority to Industry, during which the Authority will describe the requirement and incremental delivery approach. We will invite Industry comments which will be documented and shared to those present at the event. Should your Organisation wish to attend the initial Market Interest Day please contact the following email address to register your interest: desjsens-comrcl-sharedmailbox@mod.gov.uk so that we can engage with you regarding this event. Industry attendance will be limited to 2 attendees per company with requirement for confirmation of extant Security Clearance. Upon registration you must also confirm your system(s) are mature in accordance with NASA Defined Technical Readiness Level 7 to 9 (TRL 7 to 9). We look forward to hearing from you.
