Dstl - UAV-GPSAR Systems for Autonomous Sensing

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is procuring from Xenint a UAV-GPSAR contract valued at GBP 129,576, likely involving unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems integrated with GPS-aided synthetic aperture radar (GPSAR) technology. The purpose appears to support Dstl's research and development in autonomous systems for defense applications, such as reconnaissance, hazard mapping, or sensing in complex environments, aligning with their ongoing work in robotic and autonomous systems (RAS). This fits into the UK's broader strategic context of advancing defense science and technology for improved operational capabilities, including trials for reconnaissance and multi-vehicle autonomy.
