Reducing the long term costs of military capability Affordable space – How can Defence achieve affordable access to space? How can we harness advances in the commercial sector and maximise our use of space based services? How do we improve our situation awareness of space? Where are the opportunities to reduce the size, weight and power of space based capabilities? Ministry of Defence, 2018

Maintaining advantage through enhanced technology Self-sustaining forces - When the UK deploys forces overseas it has to ensure that they are supported by an appropriately robust and effective logistics infrastructure that ensures the timely delivery of consumables and other materiel. MOD is interested in all aspects of technology, or alternative ways of working, that minimise the logistic infrastructure particularly that exposed to risk. Interests span technology for reducing the logistic footprint itself for example through the use of renewable or alternative energy sources, through to the use of additive manufacturing that might reduce the need for a large holding of spares in-theatre. Ministry of Defence, 2018

Maintaining advantage through enhanced technology Materials and structures – Understanding material selection and performance, ageing, shock and impact resistance, corrosion, design and lifeing aimed towards reducing the long term cost of military equipment across a range of platforms, weapons and application areas. How do we pull through promising materials quickly and at low enough cost to enable early adoption? Ministry of Defence, 2018

Information, big data and autonomy Ubiquitous sensing and processing - in the future, sensors will become smaller and cheaper leading to their wide availability both in civilian applications and in defence. They will also be available to our adversaries. How they are deployed and how the information they generate is managed and used will be key. We need to understand how they will be networked and how automation could be exploited to task and manage them. Ministry of Defence, 2018

The rapidly evolving operating environment Sensors – The basic human need to know and understand your environment is of particular imperative to the Armed Forces. Defence is interested in the development of small, low-power, light-weight, multi-modal sensing capabilities for example to detect explosive and chemical substances, and radio frequency emissions. Ministry of Defence, 2018
