Problem/Challenge

To provide a greater and deeper understanding of Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) markets and the impact on future crewed combat air opportunities.

Task

An assessment of global ACP markets, ACP providers and capabilities, and the proliferation of ACP’s. The assessment included the impact of the operation of ACP’s will have on crewed combat air markets to provide UK industry and government with information on export markets and collaborative opportunities.

Impact

The analysis highlighted a vibrant and growing sector in ACPS’s, the development of which is rapidly evolving across numerous global markets. The UK’s capabilities and research and development in the field strongly correlates to that of other markets, where future collaborative opportunities may be present.

"UKDSC have provided an extensive report that highlights opportunities and areas that would have been beyond the remit of the core team. Their attentiveness and diligence were critical to the timely delivery and exploitability of the report, and I will continue to seek opportunities to work with them."
