If you attended the Track 1 Industry day then the Track 2 Industry day is a must! As leaders of SERAPIS Lots 3/4/5 (Decide/Assured information infrastructure/Simulation and synthetic environments), QinetiQ and NSC are pleased to invite interest from experts who have potential innovations in Science and Technology (S&T) that can support the Autonomous Resilient Cyber Defence (ARCD) project. ARCD is funded for 4 years, out to FY 24/25, and aims to research and develop self-defending, self-recovering concepts for military platforms and technologies.
As military networks and systems are becoming more complex and interconnected to meet operational demands, it is becoming increasingly difficult for cyber defenders to respond effectively to incidents. In parallel, aggressors are adopting increasingly sophisticated approaches and leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Leaning (ML) approaches to outpace defenders. Identifying, selecting and carrying out cyber defence responses in a machine relevant timeframe is essential to mitigate these threats. The use of AI and ML techniques are a critical defence against these attacks; research is needed to develop and mature these techniques for Defence.
We are looking to engage with a broad range of suppliers and members of the academic community, particularly those with expertise who do not traditionally deliver into defence. We are looking for a diverse supply chain who are able to help to support research that contributes to:
- Task 1 – Training and Demonstration Environments
- Task 2 – Evaluation and Experimentation
- Task 3 – Actuation and Integration.
During the industry day we will outline the scope of the project and describe the planned objectives for each year of this critical programme, describe how suppliers will be able to engage with the research and become part of the SERAPIS Lots 3/4/5 supply chain.
