+ JSaRC has 3 Main Objectives :

+JSaRC - Key points

+ More than Science & Tech. – COTS / services / other sectors / commercial

+ 50:50 Government / security sector (industry and academia) collaboration (50:50 funded, secondees and civil servants - HMG £11m over 4 years)

+ Industry shaping - Supporting SMEs, protecting IP, promoting consortia

+ Improving procurement processes.

+ Location - Cambridge

+ “Speed dating” …. “Sandpit” ….. “Gearbox” …..“Marriage guidance”

+JSaRC and the Defence & Security Accelerator

+ JSaRC and Home Office fully support the Accelerator

+ Home Office on Accelerator Board + staff in IRIS

+ Bring security and resilience challenges to Accelerator

+ Seek opportunities for joint Defence / Security collaboration…

The Problem: How do we make this work?

OFFICIAL

Technical challenge

OFFICIAL

• How do we achieve effective situational awareness of and within the maritime environment?– Effective and affordable sensors and processing

• Particularly for difficult targets in complex environments– Providing effective and timely information to operators

• Fusion• Automation• Patterns of life

– Understanding that allows us to introduce the right technology early – and use it correctly

So what?

OFFICIAL

• Economy: Safe sea lanes are essential to the UK– Trade is vital to UK interests with over 90% of world trade

travelling by sea• Defence: UK defence and power projection relies on an

ability to control / influence within the maritime environment– Expeditionary operations– UK deterrent

Land environment technology challenges

The Land Environment

OFFICIAL

Land Integrated Survivability

OFFICIAL

• Aim: Use R&D to increase the overall survivability of the mounted and dismounted User in the land domain.– Increased Protection– Increased Mobility / Terrain accessibility– Increased Force projection– Increased Situational awareness– Lower Logistical burden– Lower Cognitive burden

Programme Linkages

OFFICIAL

• Exploitation of technologies developed in other area.– Materials (MAST programme)– Synthetic Biology (Disruptive Capability Programme)– Situational Awareness– Logistics

The challenge to me?• MOD has a requirement to protect ALL of its platforms in

ALL current operations at ALL times.• This is a logistical burden.• Protection systems need to be:

– Smaller– Lighter– Lower consumption of power– Cheaper– In general, they need to reduce the burden on MOD

OFFICIAL

The challenge to you?*• Protection against new or non-conventional threats• New physical mechanisms for protection• Novel uses for modelling and simulation• Techniques for predicting effects of technology insertion• Novel sensing and switching technologies*• Lower cost of ownership and disposal*• Generic Vehicle Architectures• Materials*

OFFICIAL

*CAVEAT: This includes technology pull through from other areas

• Hardening of components / sensors• Novel Power generation & storage• Active Protection Technologies

– Active signatures– Sensing– Effectors
