Kinetic Effector RFI

The Home Office is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) titled 'Kinetic Effector RFI' to gather market intelligence on ground-based 'kinetic effectors'—hard kill or hard stop solutions including ammunition for firearms, smart weapons sighting systems, and other non-firearm classified systems—for counter-drone capabilities in policing, informed by the NPCC Counter Drones Strategic Threat and Risk Assessment. The purpose is to assess market potential, refine operational requirements through manufacturer trials, and inform a future procurement process estimated for July 2024, leading to technologies on a Home Office Framework Contract, with an estimated value of £1,000,000 excluding VAT. This RFI is not a call for competition and does not commit to any contract.
