Ministry of Defence Funding Opportunity: Connectivity of Disparate Remote Autonomous Systems
FCG are interested to hear from companies active in any sector, that are developing and/or operating solutions that enable interoperability and integration of remote autonomous solutions containing multiple vendor software/hardware without creating vendor lock in.
Open modular approaches, architectures and solutions should enable communication between disparate systems, enhancing the effectiveness of all systems through collaboration in the relevant situation.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) would like to hear from companies from Micro through to Large Enterprises whose ideas, products or services may contribute towards fulfilling this need.
