Market consultation IRST systems

Situational awareness is paramount for ship self-defense. Passive surveillance of threats enables platforms to remain radio silent as to remain undetected by adversarial electronic support measures. In a peer-conflict - a variety of high-end aerial threats are possible - such as (sea-skimming) cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Timely detection of threats is critical to enable sufficient warning time for the ship to take protective measures. State of the art IRST systems can provide naval platforms this capability. The purpose of this Request For Information (RFI) is to inform COMMIT of IRST systems at a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) which are able to provide meaningful detection capability against high-end threats. Specifically - the IRST system shall be able to: - Provide passive continuous...
