Description

This workstream examines how UK‑developed uncrewed systems and sub‑systems can be positioned for both defence and civil markets while navigating export controls and regulatory complexity. It focuses on identifying priority international markets, maximising dual‑use design opportunities, and addressing licensing and compliance barriers that can constrain growth. Topics include classification challenges for uncrewed platforms, balancing military and commercial requirements, export control friction on software, autonomy and sensors, and early design decisions that affect exportability. Workshops will focus on actionable approaches to unlock UK export potential while protecting sensitive capabilities.
