Securing the North Atlantic – Early Market Engagement invitation to industry

The Ministry of Defence invites companies to participate in an industry day focusing on autonomous systems.

The purpose of the engagement is to facilitate a dialogue between the Royal Navy and Industry Partners on capabilities that will accelerate the Royal Navy’s pivot to autonomy with a specific focus on Anti-Submarine Warfare entitled Project CABOT, a portfolio of lean crewed, remote operated and uncrewed/autonomous airborne, surface and sub-surface vehicles, sensors and nodes to provide a deployable and persistent wide area ASW search capability.

The event will take place on Wednesday 5 March 2025 at Portsmouth Naval Base, and registrations close at 1200 on 26 February.

Full details including how to register can be found on the Defence Sourcing Portal.
