ASCA is seeking information to support an Australian sovereign uncrewed aerial system (UAS) and trusted autonomy industrial capability, in particular for small, general-purpose systems that can be produced at greater scale than is currently possible to service a wide range of applications, but without the security limitations and supply chain vulnerability of current commercial suppliers. These systems should support flexibility and interoperability through open architecture models, establishing a common test bed for future innovative applications, including trusted autonomy.
Responses to this RFI may also support planning for developing innovative applications of existing uncrewed aerial systems, including applications involving increased autonomy.
Responses are due 21 August 2023.
More information and responses to be submitted via AusTender Ref : ASCA-RFI-2023-001
Industry Briefing: Tuesday 8th August 2023 3:30pm AEST.
