This project falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services and aims to leverage quantum-enhanced Position, Navigation, and Timing technologies for defence applications. The location for the trials is the Defence Battle Lab in Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, UK. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with engagement scheduled until 31st May 2025. The procurement process will be governed under UKPGA 2023/54 legislation. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in innovative timing technologies and defence research. Enterprises involved in quantum technology, especially those focusing on atomic clock and frequency standards, will find this opportunity well-suited to showcase and advance their developments. Participation in the event could lead to substantial collaborations with the Ministry of Defence, fostering advancements in defence capabilities and positioning companies at the forefront of cutting-edge technological applications in demanding environments. ## Notice The UK's Ministry of Defence (MOD) aims to gain operational advantages in challenging environments through the use of quantum-enhanced Position, Navigation, and Timing (QE PNT) technologies. The initial emphasis is on atomic clocks and frequency standards due to their immediate impact on defence and security. Timing technologies are crucial across all platforms and applications, and Dstl has developed high-impact military scenarios and technical challenges to support several use cases. This initiative aims to mature and accelerate innovations towards enhancing Defence capabilities in novel timing devices and systems for testing outside a laboratory. The trials will be held at the Defence Battle Lab in Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, UK, with up to eight demonstrators being accommodated.
