In plain English
The Ministry of Defence is asking suppliers to register interest in supplying First Person View small drone training systems for the Army, including ground control stations, batteries, spares, repair support and training/documentation. This is an early market-interest exercise (worth around £3m) ahead of a possible formal tender, with a contract period running January 2027 to January 2028.
Good fit for: Drone (FPV/sUAS) makers, integrators and training providers able to supply kit plus spares and support at scale.
- This is only an expression of interest to gauge the market — no contract is being awarded yet and a formal tender may or may not follow
- Supplier must be able to show capability across the whole package: aircraft, ground control stations, batteries, spares, repairs and training materials
- Delivery must be affordable and scalable for Army training and experimentation
- No deadline or procedure stated, so you would need to contact the buyer for details

What the buyer says
Procurement of a scalable, affordable, non-energetic FPV training capability to deliver increased training mass under the RAPSTONE programme. A competitive procurement will be used to test the market and secure value for money, taking account of current technology, supplier capacity and support solutions. Final quantities will be determined through competition, with lessons identified from FPV Tranches 1 and 2 informing the final User Requirement Document. This represents the final planned FPV training tranche under the current UBIQUITY approach and is distinct from the operational Armed FPV capability requirement.
Procedure: Competitive flexible procedure (Flexible: the buyer sets the stages, often a shortlist first, then bids). Published 13 Oct 2026.
