## About this tender

Following the lessons learned from Project MOSQUITO, Project ALVINA, and wider

Uncrewed Air Systems (UAS) experimentation, the Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO)

and Air Capability are considering how to best exploit Low-Cost UAS to support the

Combat Air Force Mix as part of follow on LANCA activity and wider Uncrewed

System Development.

The Authority will be holding an engagement day on Tuesday 29th November 2022 to

inform Industry of Air’s intent for additive/adjunct capability in the Combat Air Force

Mix, and to provide Industry Partners with the opportunity to consider how they could

best contribute to Air’s intent within a subsequent R&D portfolio.

This engagement will likely be of interest to Industry Partners who specialise in any

of the following: UAS design and manufacture, propulsion, systems integration,

navigation, communication, Electronic Warfare (EW) payloads (active and passive),

autonomy, command and control, airworthiness and certification. Additional information: Engagement Day

- The Engagement Day will be held in person at RAF High Wycombe, HP14 4UE.
