The innovation challenges facing the British Army

The context in which the British Army operates continues to become ever more dynamic and complex. To meet the challenges of the future, the Army recognises the need to engage in early and frequent dialogue with wider industry and academia to make better informed decisions on the rapid adoption of innovative technologies.

As the Army seeks to modernise and transform at the pace of relevance, Futures Lab this year will see innovation challenges surrounding:

Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Increased Electrification and Hybrid Drive
Novel Sensors and Effectors
High Value Manufacturing
Use of Data
Synthetic Environments and Digital Twins
Live Experimentation

We welcome Small and Medium Sized companies (SMEs), academic institutions and organisations from both defence and non-defence sectors to better inform defence decision making.

If you believe that your subject matter expertise could enable rapid innovation and improve decision support, we strongly encourage you to join our growing network. If you want to find out more, email fslabprocurement@qinetiq.com.
