Why it matters
A mid-size EO/IR framework from FMI covering three range classes plus installation, maintenance and training — a repeatable maritime surveillance reference. Relevant to EO/IR camera and gimbal makers and integrators able to service Danish naval vessels locally.
Do this: Submit a bid via the FMI/TED notice by 17 August 2026 if you can cover lightweight, medium- and long-range EO/IR systems plus Danish in-service support; otherwise approach likely bidders as a payload subsupplier.

Summary
Denmark's Defence Ministry procurement agency FMI is tendering a framework agreement for delivery, installation and maintenance of electro-optical (day camera + thermal) systems for Coastal Rescue Service and Naval Home Guard boats, primarily for locating persons in the water, plus navigation in poor visibility and ship inspections. Three variants are required: lightweight, medium-range and long-range systems, with training of Danish Defence personnel in use and maintenance. Estimated value EUR 12.06m; bid deadline 17 August 2026.

Forsvarsministeriets Materiel- og Indkøbsstyrelse (FMI) udbyder en rammeaftale om levering og vedligeholdelse af elektrooptiske systemer til anvendelse i Kystredningstjenestens og Marinehjemmeværnets både, der primært skal anvendes at lokaliere personer i vandet i forbindelse med redningsaktioner, men også skal kunne anvendes til bl.a. navigation ved nedsat sigtbarhed samt skibsinspektioner. Elektrooptiske systemer (EO) er digitale kamerasystemer, hvor de fleste består af et almindeligt dagslyskamera, samt et sekundært varmefølsomt kamera (termisk kamera), som måler termisk stråling, og derfor kan anvendes uden lys til at identificere objekter. FMI's indkøb af de elektrooptiske systemer omfatter et letvægtssystem, et mellemdistancesystem og et langdistancesystem. Den udbudte Rammeaftale indebærer dels anskaffelse og installation af de elektrooptiske systemer i Forsvarets fartøjer, men også vedligeholdelse af systemerne samt oplæring i brugen af Forsvarets personel i brugen og vedligeholdelsen af systemerne.

Signals Swiss intent to integrate external air picture feeds, which downstream implies procurement of data links, fusion and C2/air-surveillance interfaces at VBS/armasuisse. Relevant to sensor-fusion, air C2 software and secure data-link suppliers with Swiss presence or Swiss partners. Do: Track VBS/armasuisse air-defence C2 and sensor-fusion programmes on simap.ch and position early with Swiss integrators on interoperable air-picture data-link and fusion capability.

A mid-size civil/dual-use underwater robotics buy in an Atlantic region, won by a Spanish integrator rather than a Portuguese or northern-European ROV house — a reference point for UUV/ROV makers on who is winning Iberian research-vessel work. Relevant to ROV/UUV builders and subsea sensor, tether, manipulator and control-software suppliers. Do: If you supply subsea sensors, manipulators, tethers or ROV control software, approach OMIL & GONZALEZ SL as integrator for the Azores research-vessel ROV module build.

It shows UKDI's Security Open Call as a 100%-funded, non-dilutive entry route that led to a first commercial contract and prime introductions for a software SME. Relevant to computer-vision, C-UAS and autonomy software startups looking for a UK public-sector reference customer. Do: If you build edge AI, C-UAS or autonomy software, watch for the next UKDI Security Open Call cycle on gov.uk and frame your proposal around a named end-user problem (policing, Dstl, Royal Navy) as Vizgard did.
