Defence Industry Program: Concept for Robotics and Autonomous Systems

The Force Exploration Hub is seeking input from industry and academic representatives to assist in the development of the Concept for Robotics and Autonomous Systems 2040. This concept will address the question: How will the ADF future force exploit Robotics and Autonomous Systems to gain advantages throughout the spectrum of conflict, and how can the ADF counter threats posed by Robotics and Autonomous Systems to the future force? This input reflects the vital role that industry partners play in the development of future capabilities, along with the research and analysis done by the academic sector. Expressions of interest close on the 29th of May 2020.
