Tenders Are Invited For Security, Fire-Fighting, Police And Defence Equipment – Nordic Camouflage Framework Agreement

Security, Fire-Fighting, Police And Defence Equipment – Nordic Camouflage Framework Agreement. Framework Agreement Passive Signature Material – Camouflage And Deception. There Is An Extensive And Common Need Among The Nordic Countries To Acquire New And Ensure The Development And Supply Of Passive Signature Material. The Armed Forces Vehicles/Platforms/Personnel Have A Basic Physical Masking As The Lowest Level. Basic Masking Typically Consists Of Adapted Clothing, Equipment Painted A Specific Color And Vehicles So-Called. Mcs Kit. The Need For Passive Signature Material Of Different Configuration For Different Applications For Personnel, Locations, Equipment Is Significant Beyond The Capability Obtained In Basic Masking. Signature Adaptation Is Of The Utmost Importance For A Units Ability To Protect And, By Extension, Its Ability To Operate Both Defensively And Offensively. Units With An Upgraded And Single Signature Participating In An Operation Will Have A Greater Chance Of Avoiding Combat. Acquisition, Development And Coordination Of Signature Adaptation Systems Has Been Somewhat Of A Fallow For Most Of The Past 21St Century. In Foreign Missions, The Aim Was To Be Seen Rather Than To Adapt To The Surrounding Terrain. Revised Threat Picture, Nato Entry And A Rapid Development Of Sensors Have Escalated The Need For Development Of And The Need For Acquisition Of Passive Signature Material. It Follows From This That The Security Of Supply Regarding Securing Deliveries In Peacetime, War And/Or Crisis Is Of Great Importance Based On The Fact That The Manufacture/Sewing/Repair Of Masking Materials And The Development Of These Material Systems To Protect Against New Sensors Is An Extensive Undertaking And Requires A Supplier Who Possesses A Great Deal Of Experience And Knowledge Of The Materials As Well As The Operations And Environments In Which The Materials Are To Be Used. Fmv Believes That The Procurement Has A Direct Connection To Swedens Defence, Border Protection, Territorial Integrity And Independence. In The Procurement, It Is Intended To Achieve Increased Interoperability Between Fin, No, Dk With Common Materials, Coordinated Development Of New Materials With The Support Of Signing A Joint Framework Agreement. From This Follows The Need For The Supplier With Whom An Agreement Is Signed To Have Competence And The Necessary Production Capacity In Or Within The Nordic Region. Fmv Intends For The Swedish Armed Forces To Procure A Framework Agreement In Cooperation With Norway, Finland, Denmark Which Includes: I) Procurement Of Masking Material Based On Coordinated Nordic Requirements Ii) Procurement Of Services To Make Collaboration With The Supplier Available For Development Of The Material System Iii) Procurement Of Masking Materials Covered By The Framework Agreement Which Are Developed During The Validity Of The Agreement According To Point (Ii Iii) Procurement Of Services For Testing And Adaptation Of Masking Materials
