The purpose of the trial is to determine the vibration and temperature environment experienced by air countermeasures when deployed on aircraft. The trial will have two parts: 1) the flight trial (Aircraft (Fast Jet, Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing) and Countermeasures (Flare / Cartridge MTV, Spectral & Aerodynamic and Chaff)); and 2) the data analysis and reporting (The data will be acquired by using UK MOD owned equipment) The data gathering equipment will be supplied by the UK MOD. This equipment is to be stored, managed and maintained by the Contractor in a ready to use state on behalf of the MOD The current iFlare design is suitable for data gathering purposes on the platform, providing data gathered for a flare during air carriage. However, this equipment is unsuitable for DO test house control purposes and therefore a more robust iFlare variant is required to be designed, trialled and qualified in order to facilitate DO test house qualification activities. Any interested parties are to indicate whether they have this capability. Company to be DAOS approved or be able to obtain the necessary MAA/DAOS approvals Due to the security classification of both platforms and countermeasures, DGM Navy & Air Delivery Team requires that all personnel involved with the contract hold at minimum SC.
