Description

Provision of a military satellite maritime terminal system.

Total Quantity or Scope

BACKGROUND As the current assets under the Authority's SKYNET programme move towards their end of life, procurements have been identified to focus on ensuring the next generation replacement equipment is available to maintain or improve the Authority’s communication capability. Within this context, the NGMT project is to replace the role of the current Satellite Communications Onboard Terminal 5 (SCOT5) on Royal Navy vessels. SCOPE A new military maritime terminal system is required to ensure continuity of maritime communications through the end of life of the Skynet 5 series of satellites and the introduction of the new Skynet 6A satellite, which is due to enter service in 2026. The Authority’s preferred option is to procure a Military-Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) solution to replace the existing maritime terminals, which is the subject of this procurement. Please refer to Section 2 of the ‘Dynamic Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire – Additional Information’ SK6-TT-000095 document.
