RFI0031-B FLIGHT DATA MONITORING (FDM) - PROVISION OF GDRAS

This is a Request for Information (RFI) not a bidding opportunity.

This RFI links to RFI0031 . The MOD wish to further investigate the market in relation to the information below.

Navy Command (NC) and Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) are committed to working together in a conjoined manner such that FDMP compliance is achieved using a single flight data processing toolset. This requires the establishment of a capability within NC that includes a suitable flight data analysis toolset for a range of helicopters operated by the UK military.

Navy Command has launched a Flight Data Analysis Programme (FDAP), where the primary objective is to identify operating risks through FDM events and measurements (such that the risks are mitigated within platform related FDMPs as part of SMS activity). The FDAP programme is using the generic term Ground-based Data Replay and Analysis System (GDRAS) as a label for the required flight data analysis toolset.

This Request for Information (RFI) has been published to gain insight into the functionality and licensing of available COTS flight data analysis toolsets and to explore the potential for supporting potential follow-on phases of work of varying sizes.

Please see document attached for further details.
