    Brief

    The Scottish Police Authority is upgrading critical end-of-life forensic equipment at the Scottish Crime Campus to maintain operational capability of its Integrated Ballistics Intelligence System (IBIS). The procurement encompasses three main components: upgrading the outdated BRASSTRAX H4 cartridge imaging system to current specifications, replacing an aging Data Concentrator server (10+ years in service) with modern infrastructure, and acquiring a new Quantum 3D (Q3D) digital microscope system to enable advanced virtual bullet comparison capabilities. This upgrade is essential to support ongoing criminal investigations and forensic analysis while ensuring system reliability and performance.
