SUMMARY:Expression of Interest - Land Autonomous Collaborative Platform Industry Day
DESCRIPTION:Expression of Interest will close 1159 on 11th August\nIntroduction\nThe British Army is pleased to invite you to apply to participate in the Land Autonomous Collaborative Platform (LACP) industry workshops\, which will take place on 21 August 2025 at the Defence BattleLab Dorset. This in-person only collaborative event reinforces Defence’s transformative relationship with industry to support the Army’s modernisation efforts. This Army event is a progression on the National Armaments Director Group engagement (13-14 Aug 25) and will focus specifically on the LACP problem set.\n The ‘Problem’ \nThe British Army seeks to develop an Uncrewed Air System (UAS) to pair with the Apache AH-64E attack helicopter as an ACP. The ACP will operate in a highly autonomous\, ‘commanded not controlled’ manner to perform multi-mission tasks in contested battlespace\, including reconnaissance\, target acquisition\, strike\, countermeasure defeat\, and integration with Launched Effects (LE). The ACP will enhance the lethality and survivability of the crewed platform and do so with a smaller logistic footprint and lower maintenance requirement relative to the crewed platform. \nFocus areas\nThese workshops are a key opportunity for Defence stakeholders to engage with industry partners to explore innovative and novel solutions that leverage advancements in autonomy\, modularity\, and manufacturing scalability. The Army is seeking to develop understanding of technology readiness and industrial capability to inform the User Requirements. Areas of interest include\, but are not limited to:\n\nUncrewed Air Systems (UAS) – A system including the platform\, the supporting network and equipment. A Vertical Take-off and Landing (VToL) UAS able to carry c.200kg+ payloads are most likely to satisfy the operational use case.\nAutonomous systems – Solutions that enable varying levels of autonomy\, or the fully autonomous command and control of UAS. Transversal capabilities such as AI-based decision making\, digital twins\, synthetic environment\, digital\, data and security standards.\nCertification and regulation – working with civilian and military regulators to navigate regulatory challenges and support industries to test and evaluate platforms.\nSystem integration – the challenges of integrating a system of systems and the adoption of modularity.\nModular payloads.\nOther Defence Lines of Development (DLoDs) considerations to include safety\, communications\, cyber\, navigation\, interoperability.\n\nIndustry Engagement Approach\nConduct of the day will be a collaborative endeavour with United Kingdom Defence Innovation (UKDI)\, Defence & Security Accelerator (DASA)\, Futures Lab and Dstl supported by Team Defence Information. The event will be hosted at the Defence BattleLab where military challenges intersect with industry solutions. To cohere the day’s interaction\, three core workshops are planned with additional scope to accommodate emergent topics through the day.\nWorkshop 1 – Platforms – the Uncrewed Air System (UAS)\nWorkshop 2 – Autonomy solutions\nWorkshop 3 – Integration\, comms and navigation systems.\nPlease note: There are physical restraints on the numbers of participants so do not delay in registering your interest\, successful attendees will be notified on 12th August \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nExpression of Interest

SUMMARY:Critical Raw Materials for Defence: Online Snack Series - Session 1
DESCRIPTION:The recent Critical Raw Materials for Defence Report we published\, outlines a proposed framework for enhancing Critical Raw Materials resilience in the UK Defence sector through circular economy principles and recycling. Our aim was to contribute to the development of the UK’s industrial strategy and ensure Defence has a strong voice in this important area. As the financial settlement process moves forward\, we’re keen to keep the conversation active. \nJoin us for the Snack Series—a rapid-fire set of expert-led sessions that dive into the most urgent challenges and strategic opportunities across the UK’s critical materials ecosystem. \nFrom policy to platforms\, e-waste to innovation funding\, this series brings together voices across government\, industry\, and academia to shape a more circular\, resilient\, and sovereign defence future. \nWhy Attend?• Get insights into policy\, innovation\, and supply chain resilience• Hear from leaders shaping the future of defence and critical materials• Connect across disciplines—from recyclers and researchers to strategists and policymakers \nEach session features a 20-minute presentation from leading organisations\, followed by a 40-minute panel Q&A. Sessions will explore:• Global supply chain risks• UK capability and innovation• Priority Defence use cases \nContent will focus on real insights and lessons—not sales pitches—with case studies encouraged. No prior defence knowledge required; many challenges are cross-sector. \nWhy It MattersNew mining is costly\, slow\, and environmentally challenging. Reclaiming materials from end-of-life equipment could offer a faster\, cheaper\, and greener path. Let’s mine our waste—not the planet. \nGet Involved \nJoin the conversation. Shape the future. Spread the word. \nWant to stay informed or take part? Sign up now to receive invites and materials \nBy signing up you will receive diary invites to these sessions and will also receive invites to any subsequent workstreams/presentations. \n1st Series – 29th August 1500 – 1600 \n\n\n\nTime\nTopic\nSpeaker\n\n\n1455\nTeams Session Opened\n \n\n\n1500\nWelcome and Introduction\nSteve Green\n\n\n1505\nBridging the Supply Demand Gap by 2030 (Ref A)\nPetr Pudil Globsec\n\n\n1520\nUK 2024 Criticality Assessment (Ref B)\nDr Evi Petravatzi\n\n\n1535\nPanel Q&A session\nAll\n\n\n1555\nClosing remarks and next event\nSteve Green\n\n\n1600\nTeam meeting ends\n \n\n\n\n  \nIf you would like further information please contact steve.green@teamdefence.info or nigel.procter@teamdefence.info \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nSubscribe here\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nSustainable Circular Economics for Defence Concept Note\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n2024 Criticality Assessment\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nThe Innovation Imperative\, Bridging the Supply Demand Gap for Critical Raw Material by 2030
