Counter UAS Technologies

UK registered organisations can apply for a share of up to £5 million to develop counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) dual use technologies that can be applied to both civil and military settings. This funding is from Innovate UK.

This competition supports counter UAS technologies that address the needs of national security, protection of critical national infrastructure and wider government priorities.

The competition will help support a resilient UK national security and defence ecosystem by accelerating innovation and the development of critical sovereign capabilities. It will also support ambitious companies developing technology ideas with high potential to scale, boost economic growth and reinforce a robust UK supply chain.
