Defence Sourcing Portal: Connectivity of Disparate Remote Autonomous Systems
Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) Future Capability Group (FCG) are conducting early market engagement that will improve their understanding of the industrial base capabilities to integrate remote autonomous systems.
FCG are interested to hear from companies active in any sector, that are developing and/or operating solutions that enable interoperability and integration of remote autonomous solutions containing multiple vendor software/hardware without creating vendor lock in.
Open modular approaches, architectures and solutions should enable communication between disparate systems, enhancing the effectiveness of all systems through collaboration in the relevant situation.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) would like to hear from companies from Micro through to Large Enterprises whose ideas, products or services may contribute towards fulfilling this need.
