Accelerator Autonomous last mile resupply Challenge overview - 23 May 2017Heather-Fiona Egan
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities around using autonomous systems for last mile resupply to military forces. It outlines the need to reduce risk to personnel and increase efficiency of resupply operations. Current resupply methods are inefficient and dangerous. The document proposes three technology challenges: developing unmanned ground and air logistics platforms, increasing platform autonomy, and creating systems to optimize resupply planning and tracking. Target performance metrics for these systems include ranges of 300m to 30km, payloads of 50kg, rapid turnaround times, and ability to operate in diverse environments requiring high degrees of autonomy.
The document discusses the UK's need for affordable space-based capabilities to support military operations. It notes that 90% of UK military capability depends on space assets and outlines national space policy objectives. The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is seeking proposals for innovative concepts and technologies in space surveillance, secure communications, and platforms/infrastructure to enhance capabilities while lowering costs. Proposals are invited for experimental demonstrations with potential military applications. Successful phase 1 projects will be eligible for additional phase 2 funding to further develop technologies and concepts identified.
This document summarizes a briefing on developing future sonar technology through a themed competition. It outlines three challenges focused on harnessing discovery for sonar advantage, measuring decision effectiveness of new technologies, and improving non-destructive evaluation of sonars. The briefing describes a vision for smaller, more distributed sonar networks and invites proposals for funding to work on proof-of-concepts to address the challenges. Successful proposals may receive up to three additional years of follow-on funding to further develop the technologies.
The document describes a competition to develop new optical sensing technologies that can see through clouds. It seeks concepts for active techniques like LIDAR that provide enhanced visibility through clouds, as well as passive techniques using novel spectral analysis or image processing. Projects should be at early technology readiness levels of 2-3, with the goal of achieving visibility even when transmission is just 0.02%. The competition involves an initial phase 1 of up to 6 months and £500,000 to develop proofs of concept, with successful projects continuing to a follow-on phase 2 for further development.
The document discusses the UK's chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) protection capabilities and challenges. It notes that terrorism and state threats involving CBRN weapons are top national security risks. The UK's policy is for armed forces to be able to "survive and operate" in all CBRN environments, but current capabilities to detect and treat CBRN hazards remain difficult. Various projects are underway to improve protection, but continued investment is needed to address this evolving threat.
This document outlines several enduring challenges facing the Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) including communication, data, human performance, lethality, lower cost of ownership, mobility, power, protection, and situational awareness. It discusses each of these challenges in military contexts and operational environments. The document is copyrighted by the UK Ministry of Defence and focuses on ensuring that the armed forces can effectively project military power, engage forward to prevent conflicts, defend the homeland, and provide help during domestic crises.

Captain Nick Walker on the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft CarriersICSA, LLC
This presentation was made by Captain Nick Walker of the Royal Navy on August 10, 2016 in Canberra Australia to a Williams Foundation seminar.
The Williams Foundation has held a seminar on new approaches to air-sea integration on August 10, 2016 in Canberra, Australia.
The Royal Australian Navy has had the ability to network and share situational awareness amongst the fleet for many years and the P-3s has been the only RAAF platform capable of being part of that network. The RAAF’s journey of networking its capability journey started more recently with the Hornet Upgrade Program and has accelerated with the introduction of capabilities like Wedgetail and Vigilaire. All of the RAAF’s fleet is now capable of linking into and contributing to an Air Layer of the Joint Battle management system.
With the advent of 5th Generation capabilities like the JSF and the new combat systems on the AWD as well as the design and development of the new combat systems for the Australia’s future frigates, Offshore Patrol vessels and Submarines, the ADF has a unique opportunity to influence and design in an unprecedented level of integration into the RAN’s and RAAF’s new platforms. That unprecedented level of integration should drive new thinking on the integration of air and sea power effects. The seminar is about examining the challenges and possibilities of the combat power in that future integrated force.
Air Force and Navy need to not only remediate existing deficiencies but take advantage of the transformative nature of fifth generation technology. The seminar aims to explore the art of the possible in future Air-Sea operations.
