The system shall be able to perform accordingly to the requirements set in this tender with the capability to perform measurements of a sensor’s Line-Of-Sight, FOV, MTF, PSF and Distortion. The capability to perform radiometric tests is useful, but not mandatory as these will be covered by other equipment.
The estimated value of the opportunity is: £150,000.00 to £220,000.00 GBP excluding VAT.
The System should be delivered by 31st March 2024, support and training must be completed within 4 months after delivery.
