    Brief

    The Ministry of Defence (MOD) Air Defence & Maritime Radar Delivery Team is requesting information from industry to inform its future procurement strategy for ground-based radar testing. Currently, the MOD evaluates Air Defence Radar detection and accuracy through flight checking. This RFI seeks to explore ground-based alternatives that could replicate flight check results while improving scientific and engineering rigor. Responses will help shape key procurement elements including the commercial model, requirement specifications, budget allocation, and intellectual property strategy. This is a market engagement phase only and does not constitute a formal procurement commitment. The MOD may contact respondents individually for clarification. Participation is entirely at the supplier's cost and risk, with no guarantee of proceeding to formal procurement. All interested suppliers will be treated equally if the engagement process is modified.
