The Royal Navy has awarded BAE Systems a contract to integrate the Flexible Tactical Uncrewed Aerial System (FTUAS) into the Type-23 frigate’s Combat Management System.

According to a contract award notice filed under ‘Reconnaissance aircrafts’, the Royal Navy are looking for BAE to integrate the FTUAS into the Type 23 Frigate:

“The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to BAE Systems for the development of software and procurement of hardware to integrate data streams from the Flexible Tactical Uncrewed Aerial System (FTUAS) into its host Type-23 frigate (T23) Combat Management System (CMS). The contract will have an initial term of 3 years and 3 months, plus 2 options to extend for a further 1 year each. It is considered that this contract can be awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of The Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons. This is because the FTUAS hardware and software solution will require integration with ‘legacy’ Combat Management System (CMS) on the host platform.”

(...SNIPPED)
