Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
The UK Ministry of Defence is procuring an automated aircraft inspection capability from Donecle under Project Asurvey Phase 2, valued at GBP 249,600, specifically for the RAF's Poseidon MRA-Mk1 (P8-A) aircraft to enable fast, accurate, and detailed external damage mapping. This two-year contract follows a successful one-year Phase 1 evaluation at RAF Lossiemouth, enhancing aircraft maintenance speed and accuracy through drone-based inspections that capture photos during 20-minute flights. Strategically, it builds on Donecle's proven technology to identify maintenance trends across the P-8 fleet, supporting operational aviation maintenance efficiency.
