The current camera system is now more than ten (10) years old and there is a requirement to upgrade the capability of the cameras and the communication system at this time. This upgrade will ensure that the MW 240 system can continue to deliver accurate, timely and specific pictures and videos in real time to the operators, with capability for the operator to deploy the vehicle at range.
This specification covers the replacement of the existing camera system on four (4) MW 240 mine flails and all ancillary equipment and will include the shipping, supply, delivery to site, testing, commissioning, training and maintenance of the systems for a period of a minimum of 12 months after commissioning. The Supplier should therefore include the cost for the supply, delivery to site, fitting, testing, commissioning, training and maintenance for a guaranteed minimum period of one year. This covers acceptance by the Corps of Engineers, of the equipment described in detail throughout this specification.
