  • Contract Summary

    The aim of this tasking is to develop platform agnostic working prototypes for universal carriage of logistic and medical materiel and potentially in-extremis CASEVAC by heavy lift RAS. We desire a platform agnostic universal carriage system to move variable payload combinations via both air and ground Remote & Autonomous Systems (RAS). We aim to: Draw on the knowledge and experience of industry to develop and optimise such a system; Inform its emerging doctrinal applications; and better understand the balance of both systemic and situational risk factors associated with its use. There are various operational use cases for military application in the land, littoral and sea domains. In principle, we need to move logistic, equipment support and medical materiel in varying configurations around the battlespace. We want to achieve this by pre-loading a universal carriage system with whatever is required and then attach/detach this system to/from both air and ground vehicles to move it by the most suitable method. This carriage system could also be used to evacuate casualties in extremis.
