Description
Requirement
Defence has an enduring requirement for a capability to detect and defeat uncrewed air systems (UAS) across all environments - and the Royal Navy is engaging with the market around the opportunities to continually develop counter UAS technology to match the rapid development of UAS use and technology in a maritime environment.
We are committed to working with industry to develop innovative technology that meets Navy's strategic priorities through collaboration, competition, and agile incremental development
Future operations might include, but are not limited to, littoral operations, protection of units in harbour, confined water transits, open water operations. The combined future need therefore is for the development of a marinised, robust, stand alone, updatable, small, easily deployed and easily operated system.
We are keen to interact with supply markets through a market engagement event regarding our organisational requirements, how services will be delivered, and to gather awareness of all relevant factors including performance standards and commercial arrangements.
