Finlandia - Systemy i urządzenia nadzoru i bezpieczeństwa - Sterowane zdalnie platformy naziemne (UGV) i powietrzne (UAV) z wyposażeniem do pomiaru promieniowania jonizującego

Procurement description As part of the Finnish RescEU project, the National Emergency Supply Agency (hereinafter "NESA") is preparing in cooperation with Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (hereinafter "STUK") the procurement of remotely operated ground and aerial platforms equipped with ionizing radiation measurement devices. The equipment will be part of Finnish rescEU stockpile that is part of EU Civil Protection mechanism (UCPM). Countries that are part of the mechanism (“UCPM countries”) include all EU countries and participating countries that are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Türkiye, Moldova and Ukraine. After emergency these countries can ask for assistance from the mechanism. In case of emergency, the stockpile would be activated and the devices would be sent to emergency area. The most probable end users would be first responders, security sector authorities (police, CBRN teams, defence forces) or rescue service personnel. According to preliminary estimates following quantities will be procured during 2026: - 20 - 30 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and RN sensor(s) (LOT A) - 4 - 8 tracked and/or wheeled UGVs and RN sensor(s) (LOT B) - 4 - 8 Quadruped UGVs and RN sensors (LOT C) Planned procurement schedule: 1. Request for proposal - July 2026 2. Deadline for tender questions - August 2026 3. Answers to tender questions - August 2026 4. Deadline for tenders - September 2026 5. Evaluation of tenders - September 2026 6. Procurement decision and notification to tenderers - November - December 2026 7. Procurement Agreement signing - December 2026 UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) is a ground-based vehicle that operates without an onboard human operator and is controlled either remotely or autonomously by onboard systems. In the context of this procurement Lot, a UGV includes the ground platform, propulsion and mobility systems (tracks and/or wheels), navigation and control systems, communication links, power systems and any sensors, manipulators or payloads required for RN operations. The UGV system may comprise one or more UGV platforms, operator control units, communication links, support equipment, software, interfaces and accessories required for safe and effective operation. The UGV shall be suitable for professional operational use in RN monitoring, survey, inspection and reconnaissance tasks in varied and potentially hazardous environments. RN sensors (Radiological and Nuclear sensors) are devices designed for the detection, measurement, monitoring and/or radionuclide identification of ionizing radiation and radiological and nuclear materials. In the context of this procurement, an RN sensor includes the sensor unit, associated electronics, power interfaces, data acquisition and processing components, and any required firmware/software necessary for its intended operational use. The RN sensors shall be suitable for professional operational use and capable of supporting RN monitoring, survey, detection, identification or reconnaissance tasks under varying environmental and operational conditions. The tenderer shall deliver fully integrated and operational UGV and RN sensor combinations, demonstrated as functional systems prior to acceptance. The tenderer shall be fully responsible for ensuring the mechanical, electrical and functional integration of all platform and RN sensor components offered under the same Lot, regardless of whether these components are supplied by the tenderer or by subcontractors or consortium partners.; UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is an aircraft that operates without a pilot on board and is controlled either remotely by a human operator or autonomously by onboard systems. In the context of this procurement, a UAV includes the aerial platform itself, its propulsion system, navigation and flight control systems, communication links, and any onboard sensors and payloads necessary for the intended operational use. The UAV shall be suitable for professional operational use and capable of performing missions related to radiological and nuclear (RN) monitoring, survey or reconnaissance tasks in varying environmental and operational conditions. The UAV may operate under visual line-of-sight (VLOS) or beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) conditions subject to applicable European aviation regulations. RN sensors (Radiological and Nuclear sensors) are devices designed for the detection, measurement, monitoring and/or radionuclide identification of ionizing radiation and radiological and nuclear materials. In the context of this procurement, an RN sensor includes the sensor unit, associated electronics, power interfaces, data acquisition and processing components, and any required firmware/software necessary for its intended operational use.
