The RFI details a series of assumptions, and seeks answers to a number of questions which will inform the project’s next stages.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Key assumptions are that:&lt;br&gt;- The COCO contractor will be responsible for all aspects of delivering an ISR mission, including provision of the UAS, and operational and technical support.&lt;br&gt;- The UAS Main Operating Base will be RNZAF Base Ohakea&lt;br&gt;- The UAS will conduct six hours of surveillance at a range of approximately 1400 Nautical Miles from the Main Operating Base, and&lt;br&gt;- The COCO contractor will deliver two missions per week, for fifty two weeks of the year&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The project is seeking answers to specific questions, including product overviews and general information. Please refer to the RFI documentation.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Background: &lt;br&gt;The 2025 Defence Capability Plan outlined indicative investments across a range of uncrewed systems. The Persistent Surveillance (Air) project is listed under the Aerospace Domain section as a long-range remotely piloted aircraft (page 30 of Defence Capability Plan).&lt;br&gt;The RFI closes at 4pm (NZ) on Monday 7 September&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A short virtual Industry clarification session will be held on Tuesday 11 August (NZT).
