<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A DSTL tender opportunity has arisen that might be of interest to researchers in your departments please could you cascade to them on my behalf? DSTL is looking for work in the area of antennas, short blurb below and full details attached.
The deadline to respond is Friday 18<sup>th</sup> September, value of £200k for WP1 with possible further £200k for WP2. If awarded, work would need to commence in the month of October.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If any staff are interested in responding they should get back in touch with myself for guidance on next steps and how to cost time etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks and best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Short blurb:<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There has been much research over recent years on materials and structures offering extraordinary radio frequency properties and with potential to impact antenna designs and their performance. This competition sets a challenge to suppliers
versed in the development of antennas to engage, leverage and adapt the very latest academic research and innovation in such materials to produce and demonstrate novel antennas and antenna concepts. This challenge is set in the context of the dismounted soldier
and the need for antennas with increased radiation efficiency and gain, reduced power consumption, ability for effective communication links in different orientations, more conformal and less obtrusive designs, and versatility in terms of application across
a range of frequency requirements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This requirement for Work Package (WP) 1 will deliver a Concept Development and Design Study for such antennas. An optional follow on Work Package (WP2) will produce and test physical prototypes of the antennas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Firm pricing is required for WP 1. A fully consted proposal for WP2 shall be one of the deliverables of WP1. An indicative total budget of £200,000 is provided for WP 1 with an additional indicative total budget £200,000 available for
WP 2.<o:p></o:p></p>
