Why it matters
A near-€9.3m EU-funded ISR flight-services contract run through a Spanish development agency rather than a defence ministry — an unusual entry point for airborne surveillance operators. Relevant to companies operating maritime patrol aircraft with EO/IR, AIS and radar payloads, and to payload/ops subcontractors able to work in West Africa.
Do this: If you operate certified maritime surveillance aircraft, download the pliegos from the FIIAPP/Spanish public procurement platform and submit or team with a bidder before the 18 August 2026 deadline.
