Lifecycle Update of Weather Observation Sensors, Aeronautical Weather Observations
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the lifecycle update of weather observation sensors located at airports operated by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). The scope of the procurement involves the renewal of observation sensors at all 24 airports across Finland. The primary objective of this update is to modernize the existing sensors while maintaining their current operational logic. This initiative aims to ensure the continued reliability and accuracy of aeronautical weather observations, which are critical for aviation safety and operational efficiency. The project will involve the replacement of outdated sensor technology with state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring compliance with current meteorological standards and regulations. The FMI is seeking a qualified supplier capable of managing the entire process, from the supply and installation of new sensors to the decommissioning and disposal of old equipment. Key requirements will likely include proven experience in similar sensor upgrade projects, adherence to strict quality control measures, and the ability to minimize disruption to ongoing airport operations during the upgrade period. The successful bidder will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive solution that enhances the FMI's observational capabilities and supports its mission of providing essential meteorological services to the aviation sector.
