In the wake of the fatal downing of an airliner over occupied Ukraine on 17 July, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has issued an urgent solicitation to acquire an unmanned air vehicle capability to monitor the area.
The OSCE is conducting a special monitoring mission in Ukraine following the crash of the Boeing 777-200ER that is understood to have been brought down by a surface-to-air missile. The organisation now requires a UAV “turnkey solution” to aid with the assessment, and responses are due by Friday 25 July.
“The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) hereby solicits your bid for a turnkey solution for provision of unarmed aerial vehicle (UAV) services in Ukraine in accordance with the requirements stipulated in the ITB [invitation to bid] documents,” the solicitation reads.
The shooting in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk – which has recently become occupied by pro-Russian rebels – resulted in the deaths of all 298 people on board the Malaysian Airways flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
