Defence Autonomy Research Collaboration Event

Last week, the Callen-Lenz team had the pleasure of attending the Defence Autonomy Research Collaboration Event hosted by Dstl at Twickenham Stadium on Thursday 27th November.

The event brought together a diverse community from across the defence and security Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) enterprise, alongside leading Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) researchers to explore collaboration and exploitation opportunities. With presentations, technology showcases and dedicated networking sessions, it provided a comprehensive overview of the cutting-edge research shaping the future of autonomous capability.

Our highlights:

  • Engaging with researchers, SMEs, primes and Dstl colleagues driving innovation in RAS.
  • Exploring a wide range of technologies across all Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and domains.
  • Sharing insights from our own work in autonomy, systems integration and high integrity software development.
  • Strengthening relationships and discovering new collaboration opportunities.

 

A big thank you to Dstl for hosting such a valuable and well-organised event. Bringing together industry and academia is essential for accelerating progress and delivering trusted, effective autonomous systems for defence and security. We look forward to continuing the conversations sparked at the event and building the momentum.
