Defence’s Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator is seeking information on Australian sovereign uncrewed aerial system and trusted autonomy capability, as it begins industry engagement for its first innovation challenge.
Through a request for information on Monday, the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA) put out the call for information on the development of the sovereign capability. This is not the same as the larger “mission call”, the first of which is expected to be launched in early 2024.

Information on innovating upon existing uncrewed aerial systems, such as increased autonomy, is also being sought.
