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 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.
