Provision of a Seapath and MGC Navigation System & System Upgrade for RRS Discovery

Descriptions

The procurement is for the supply, installation, commissioning, and technical support of a Seapath 385 Inertial Navigation System (INS) with an MGC-R3 Compass for the RRS Discovery research vessel. This system will replace the failed and obsolete Seapath Digital GPS system currently onboard.

The required goods and services include:

Delivery of the Seapath 385 INS and MGC-R3 Compass, including all necessary hardware, software, and documentation.

Installation and commissioning of the system by Kongsberg-qualified personnel.

Technical support for integration, calibration, and sea trials to ensure the system is fully operational and meets the vessel's requirements.

All equipment and services must be fully compatible with the existing Kongsberg navigation suite on the vessel.

The total contract value is $197,332 USD (excluding VAT). The supplier, Kongsberg Discovery A/S, is the original equipment manufacturer and the only provider able to deliver a technically compliant and compatible solution. The procurement ensures operational continuity for scientific missions and avoids the risks associated with using non-OEM alternatives. Delivery and installation will be scheduled to prevent disruption to planned research operations.
