ISCF Subsea Autonomous Systems: Next Generation Technologies - Competition Br...KTN
The Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund’s Robotics and AI challenge, through Innovate UK, (as part of UK Research and Innovation), is collaborating with The Royal Navy, Oil & Gas Technology Centre, BP, and the Oil & Gas Authority. Together they will invest up to £6 million, from a cross government and industry joint fund, in collaborative business led projects.
Individuals can apply to join a 5-day collaborative workshop to develop proposals for autonomous subsea systems that can significantly improve mission duration, sensing and communications.
Participants are sought to develop collaborative projects in next generation autonomous subsea systems which improve levels of autonomy, sensor miniaturisation, mission planning, monitoring, communications, navigation, data management, and operations together with improved endurance in the water column up to 3000 metres deep.
The challenge is to develop Next Generation Subsea Autonomous System technologies which are modular in design with common interfaces and open architectures that make trusted unmanned operations the standard approach in areas such as off-shore energy, aquafarming, deep sea mineral exploration and maritime defensive security operations.

Milton Keynes is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK and a great economic success story. However, the challenge of supporting sustainable growth without exceeding the capacity of the infrastructure, and whilst meeting key carbon reduction targets, is a major one.
MK:Smart is a large collaborative initiative, partly funded by HEFCE (the Higher Education Funding Council for England) and led by The Open University, which is developing innovative solutions to support economic growth in Milton Keynes.

Outreach and the Innovation Partners
- We reach out to the widest possible range of innovators
across sectors
- We assist innovators match their innovations to end user
requirements and help innovators new to defence and
security enter the market
- 1 in 5 bids are successful
12. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
Why does innovation outreach add value ?
An example from history pre-DASA:
2006 Aviation Liquid Bomb Plot
● The DfT, supported by Dstl and Home
Office scientists, led the government
response
● The UK security industry was
engaged
● But more innovation was still needed
– hence the joint DfT, CPNI and
Home Office created an ‘Innovative
Research Call on Explosives and
Weapons Detection’
13. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
● DASA provides an active network of innovation seekers ready to
respond, allowing the rapid creation of ‘Innovative Research Calls’
● Working with micro, small, medium and large enterprises
● Experts who can help convert military and security requirements into
innovation calls
● Links across sectors major tech sectors from bio-tech to UAVs
● Links to all the UK’s major universities
DASA Outreach - continuously seeking innovation
16. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
How are we delivering exploitation…
DASA is capturing details of security sector innovation
problems
- advise regarding potential collaborative interest in
competitions as they are being scoped
- highlight defence funded work which could meet the
security problem
Thematic showcasing to end-users – enhance awareness
of both defence innovation spend and supplier capability
17. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
Building the eco-system…
Exploitation is the key assessment criteria for DASA funding –
supplier proposals must have end-user pull
• What is the funding trying to achieve: inform policy/S&T
programmes or develop capability
• Is there end-user support to implement the outputs
• Has the supplier thought about how their proposal might
reach the marketplace for procurement by operational users
• What does procurement look like
18. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
Implementing Exploitation Plans…
Security funded projects are supported by a
Dstl Technical Partner and a DASA
Exploitation Manager
Implementing exploitation plans
- Supporting the supplier business case for
onward investment
19. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
Building the evidence base…
How would implementing a supplier’s idea deliver value for
money?
– Time
– Cost
– Reduced man hours/resource
– Improved reporting, less false positives etc.
Building this evidence comes through testing/trialling/pilots
20. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
Testing / Trialling / Pilots
Customer or End-user - committed at project fund decision
• Government Furnished Assets
• Third party
Provides tangible support to the project
• Testing
• Trialling / pilot in operational environment
• Operational advice / guidance
21. 15/07/2019 OFFICIAL accelerator@dstl.gov.uk
The exploitation plan seeks to draw out considerations around:
• integration with existing systems
• cyber security
• manufacturing
• environmental operating conditions
Are there any barriers to scaling up?
• Commercial
• Regulations
• Legislation
