At QinetiQ, we are at the forefront of disruptive technology, delivering mission-critical solutions that respond to our customers’ needs at pace, across the defence, security and critical national infrastructure markets.

Robotics and autonomous systems provide you with an operational edge through enabling unprecedented capability across multiple domains. Our family of robots includes small, medium and large unmanned vehicles, known for their durability, reliability and flexibility around the world. They can be configured for specific tasks such as IED defeat, CBRN/hazmat identification, reconnaissance, combat engineering support and SWAT/MP unit assistance.

Report: Enacting Prototype Warfare

Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) technology is ‘now technology’ with immediate military utility which will evolve over time. Our detailed report explores the strategic logic for the military use of RAS, ethics, technology overview, implications and recommendations, alongside some use case scenarios.

Enacting Prototype Warfare
Our forces carry out tasks that are hazardous, costly or impractical for humans to undertake. Robotic and autonomous systems that operate in the maritime, land and air domains can provide significant operational advantage, while increasing safety, mission tempo and reducing the burden on troops, field workers, and first responders. We develop robots in a variety of sizes and with varying capabilities that provide protection and support to keep out of harm’s way.

We have a long heritage of research, experimentation and innovation across all domains. We offer a comprehensive approach to artificial intelligence and collaborative autonomy, from concept and design, through testing and evaluation, to platform integration; from training, safety and certification to vehicle support technologies.

The accelerating pace of technological developments will only serve to increase the role played by uncrewed vehicles and robots in delivering military capability. We see a wide range of new and developed applications – including those achieved by harnessing the power of multiple unmanned systems – operating together across environments.
