The brief

BAE Systems is at the heart of the UK's sovereign combat air capability, delivering combat air readiness and ensuring our Air Force customers have the equipment, services and skills they need to protect and maintain security and economic prosperity.

As a world-leader in defence exports, we play a crucial role in internationally collaborative programmes that enhance local industrial capability and support strategic partnerships overseas.

Our goal is to accelerate the innovation of future air power through the development of technology, skills and collaborative ways of working that enable our customers to stay ahead of evolving threats.

In 2021, the Air Sector developed a Supply Chain Capability Portal, which has been widely utilised to understand alignment between the supply chain and potential customer requirements, directing future engagement across a number of projects.

Initially the portal captured supply chain information in the following system areas: Displays & Controls, Electrical Power System, Flight Control System, Thermal Management, Communication Systems, Navigation, Computing and Landing Gear, Airspace Integration, Armaments, Fuel, Ice Protection & Detection System, Mission Management, Mission System - Software, Prognostic Health Management, Vehicle / Flight Systems Software.

The scope of the portal is now being expanded to cover a third wave of systems, capturing information in these additional areas: Payload Bay/Utility Actuation, Crew Escape System, Aircrew Equipment and Survival Aids, Life Support, Auxiliary Power System, Vehicle Management System, Hydraulic Power System and Fire Detection & Protection System.

If you feel your company has current or future capability to support the above system areas, we would welcome your engagement to assess your potential to participate in a generic Request for Information (RFI).

Please contact the BAE Systems Air Capability & Equipment (AC&E) Category Management Team for further information at aircapabilityportal@baesystems.com Further bulletins will appear on the MOD Defence Sourcing Portal, with expanded scope.
