Brief

The Irish Department of Defence seeks to purchase up to three battery-powered, multi-modal ROVs for the Irish Defence Forces, with a maximum total contract value of €2 million and a project duration of 5 years. The ROVs are primarily for maritime Explosive Ordnance Disposal, with adaptability for Search and Recovery, Mine Countermeasures and Critical Infrastructure Protection. They must operate at depths of at least 300 metres and be launchable and recoverable by a two-person team from land or small boats; ease of handling, deployment and a user-focused human-machine interface are key. Delivery is required to the Naval Base at Haulbowline, County Cork, Ireland, and the authority retains an option to purchase the third unit.
