As commercial investment introduces widely available and low cost systems, the technological lead of the UK and its allies over adversaries is likely to be further eroded, with the democratisation of technologies such as additive manufacturing, cyber and unmanned systems enabling non-government actors to strike at the UK. To counter these advances we need to explore technologies which will improve the survivability of our people and platforms, extended their endurance, and ensure robust and resilient military capabilities.

The project focuses on developing approaches to maximize the use of the electronic spectrum in congested environments and improve secure transmission of information.
Historically speaking, a new generation of mobile communication system has been conceived roughly every decade. As the global roll-out of 5G is progressing and the economy is stifled by the restrictions imposed by the pa...

The project addresses the integration of new and emerging technological solutions with legacy equipment to achieve a communications edge, but does not directly address maximizing the use of the electronic spectrum or improving secure transmission of information.
The advent of the first mobile phones in the 1980s marked the beginning of mobile communications for commercial purposes. Now, thirty years later, wireless connectivity has become a fundamental part of our everyday lives...

The project focuses on tackling the looming spectrum crisis in wireless communication, which is related to maximizing the use of the electronic spectrum in congested environments. However, it does not directly address improving secure transmission of information or integrating new and emerging technological solutions with legacy equipment.
