Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Netherlands published an advance notice concerning the future procurement of several unmanned ground systems fitted with mounted sensors. These systems are intended to detect improvised explosive devices using one or more sensors. The ground vehicle will transmit sensor data to operators, who will receive real-time camera images generated by the unmanned vehicle, giving them a clear impression of the road section and its surroundings. The systems must be capable of operating partially autonomously and must be remotely controlled. The notice concerns only a prior information notice without further documents, and the start date of the tender's selection phase appears in the planning section of the publication.
