This competition is part of the Royal Navy's efforts to better understand and shape cutting edge capabilities; a strategy of exploration and analysis has been adopted to inform capability and requirements of ‘Maritime Autonomous System' use for future Royal Navy operations. A total of £2.5m is available to fund one proposal in a 2 stage process consisting of an initial research, design and re-fit stage and a subsequent testing and trialling stage. Proposals must be submitted by midday (BST) on 11 June 2019.
