Description
UK Defence Innovation (UKDI) is running a market engagement activity seeking novel ideas to detect and defeat fibre optically controlled uncrewed aerial systems. Current conflict has demonstrated rapid uncrewed aerial system (UAS) evolution, including UAS control by trailing fibre optic cables, which are immune to conventional countermeasures. We would like a solution to mitigate this new threat. This activity is run by UK Defence Innovation (UKDI) on behalf of UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). This market engagement closes at midday, 12:00 (BST) on 21 April 2026. Please note that this request for information is not a commitment to subsequently launch a formal UKDI competition.
