Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
The Department for Transport (DfT), in collaboration with the Government Office for Science, procured services from Frazer-Nash Consultancy under the 'Future of Flight Scenarios Contract' valued at GBP 79,675 to develop a series of scenarios modeling alternative futures for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and advanced air mobility (AAM) sectors. The purpose is to identify barriers, explore uncertainties, assess UK strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities, and estimate economic impacts to inform policy on future flight technologies. This fits into the broader UK strategic context of advancing electric aircraft, drones, and AAM through initiatives like the Future Flight Challenge to build aviation ecosystems and maintain global competitiveness.
