The suite of cameras covering visible through to thermal wavebands of the electromagnetic spectrum are required to address both short and long-range requirements. The cameras sought are to replace existing and new surveillance camera requirements with ‘best of breed’ COTS solutions and shall be purchased at intervals defined by operational demand through a Framework Agreement.

The suite of cameras must be sufficiently robust for worldwide deployment to enable identification of Subjects of Interest at range in urban and rural environments. The requirement for the COTS solutions offered shall be to employ the latest technologies in order to meet the demanding range of performance requirements needed.

The cameras must be able to transmit full motion video (FMV) over existing in-service bearers. Camera outputs must be capable of being viewed and stored on Open Standards platforms.

All cameras shall be subject to size, weight and power constraints which shall be defined in later correspondence. Efficient use of battery power shall be a strong consideration with the aim of reducing the deployed equipment logistics burden.

All products offered must demonstrate high availability and reliability figures for deployment in harsh environments as a means of minimising operational disruption. The cameras must have an in-service life of at least 5 years.

Maintenance and support activity shall be covered in the Tasking Orders issued as part of the overall Framework.
