Maritime DETECT for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

The UK Ministry of Defence is procuring the Maritime DETECT system for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), likely involving miniaturized sonobuoys or detection sensors to enable undersea surveillance from uncrewed platforms. This contract supports the Royal Navy's transition to next-generation autonomous anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems, enhancing detection and tracking of underwater threats in UK waters amid increasing submarine risks. It builds on related efforts like Ultra Maritime's sonobuoy contracts, extending ASW capabilities to UAVs for strategic deterrence.
