The Royal Navy is seeking fresh ideas from industry for the next phase of its Autonomous Collaborative Platforms (ACP) program. The goal is to create a new generation of drones that can truly work in a team with manned fighter jets, whether they are fourth—, fifth-, or even sixth-generation models. These unmanned systems should be able to operate synchronously, enhancing the capabilities of their manned "partners". Special attention is being paid to the possibility of working with aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy, which means the need to develop drones capable of taking off and landing from the deck of an aircraft carrier. The Ministry of Defense wants to use the knowledge and experience of industry to properly shape the development of these unmanned systems. It is expected that such platforms will have a high degree of autonomy and will be able to perform complex tasks, including electronic warfare.
