About

Ministry of Defence, ISTAR, Situational Awareness Command and Control (SACC) Delivery Team awarded a contract to Civil Aviation Authority for the provision of CAA Technical Support to the Frequency Clearance Agreement (FCA).

The contract has a duration of 5 years with a 2-year option and a value of AUD 800,000.

The Authority has an enduring obligation under the CAA licence agreement SACC/00073 to monitor and police the military use of all Link 16 transmissions within UK borders to ensure no interference with civil Link 16 transmissions.

The CAA defines acceptable levels of Link 16 transmissions in the UK Flight Information Region (FIR).

The agreement exists because Link 16 is an authorised user in the 960-1215MHz frequency band allocated to civilian aeronautical navigation aids, and as such Link 16 is only permitted to operate on a tolerable interference basis.

The contract was placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 28(1)(e) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) for technical reasons.
