    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), through the C17 Command Support and Airborne Equipment Project Team (C17CSAE PT), seeks suppliers to provide resupply, repair, and in-service maintenance of CYPRES Automatic Activation Devices (AADs) for airborne forces parachute systems. CYPRES devices are safety-critical equipment that automatically deploys reserve parachutes when a parachutist becomes incapacitated during descent. This opportunity includes ensuring continued supply of components, conducting repairs to support operational readiness, and providing scheduled maintenance to keep these life-saving devices in serviceable condition. Suppliers must demonstrate capability to handle safety-critical equipment and meet MOD quality and reliability standards.
