UK Home Office Tenders Four-Year Drone Detection, Tracking and Identification Service

The UK Home Office has published a tender notice seeking a four-year drone 'Detect, Track and Identify' (DTI) service. According to the procurement documents, the capability is intended to "detect, locate, track and identify the presence of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) — and potentially their operators — providing airspace awareness and enabling relevant authorities to take appropriate action to mitigate the threat posed by detected drones."

Diverse Technical Requirements Spanning Fixed and Mobile Deployments

The tender documents indicate that the Home Office is open to a range of technical approaches, including multi-sensor integrated systems. The specific system types sought include:

• Fixed deployments: Long-term monitoring systems installed at designated locations
• Temporary deployments: Solutions that can be rapidly stood up in response to major events and other short-term requirements
• Mobile systems: Equipment capable of flexible, relocatable deployment

The Home Office also specifically noted its interest in low-cost, wide-area solutions that could establish comprehensive aerial situational awareness across large regions of the country.

Submission Deadline and Procurement Details

Vendors wishing to respond must submit their proposals by 25 June 2026. Full procurement details are available on the UK Government's Find a Tender platform under the notice titled "Home Office – Drone 'Detect, Track and Identify' System."

This tender reflects the UK Government's broader policy direction of proactively strengthening its counter-UAS (C-UAS) defence capabilities in response to the escalating security threat posed by drones.
