Call for proposals 2020 - Maritime surveillance capabilities DIDP-MSC-2020 Open!
Objectives
The 2018 Capability Development Plan (CDP) points to the need to enhance Maritime situational awareness through a large scope of platforms, sensors, Computer Information Systems (CIS) capabilities. A comprehensive set of sensors and platforms should provide the capability to establish and maintain the maritime situational awareness and level of knowledge required to allow commanders at all levels to make timely and informed decisions.
This is key in harbour and littoral protection as well as when maritime high value units are displaced in critical waters. The analysis of long-term trends indicates the need for the ability to collate a range of different ISTAR sensor inputs to detect, track and identify threats across a wide area of operations, including the ability to counter adversary attempts to use low-observability materials, designs and technologies to escape detection.

This call covers the following topics:
- EDIDP-MSC-CRPS-2020: Coastal radars and passive sensors with associated relevant networks
