New DASA Market Exploration seeks revolutionary uncrewed systems. Novel solutions are being sought by the British Army to boost the range and effectiveness of uncrewed systems.
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has launched a new Market Exploration titled “Air Launched Effects: Revolutionary Deployment Systems,” aiming to identify uncrewed systems (UxS) with extended range capabilities for the British Army. This initiative seeks innovative UxS technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 or higher, with potential deployment within the next 12 months.
Recent conflicts have underscored the strategic importance of uncrewed systems, demonstrating that cost-effective UxS solutions can effectively counter more expensive traditional systems. The rapid evolution of the UxS landscape necessitates swift iterations of platforms and components to meet emerging battlefield requirements.
This Market Exploration reflects the British Army’s commitment to integrating agile and innovative uncrewed systems into its defense strategies to address evolving global security challenges.
The British Army is particularly interested in developing an uncrewed Deep Recce Strike platform capable of operating beyond 80 kilometers and delivering shorter-range one-way effectors onto designated targets. The desired system should also incorporate advanced Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) functionalities to identify dynamic targets and conduct post-strike Battlefield Damage Assessment (BDA). A modular design is emphasized to ensure resilience against advancements in Counter Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, enabling rapid development, testing, production, deployment, and iterative improvement.
Innovators with relevant solutions are encouraged to read the full Market Exploration document and submit their proposals by midday (12:00 GMT) on February 4, 2025.
This initiative highlights the British Army’s proactive approach to leveraging cutting-edge uncrewed systems, ensuring operational effectiveness in complex and contested environments.

The Thunderbird: Lifesaving Beyond Sight report, published in December 2024, outlines the United Kingdom’s advancements in integrating Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations into emergency services. These drones are pivotal in enhancing situational awareness, locating missing persons, and delivering critical medical supplies like defibrillators.
The report highlights several key trials:
The report identifies ten priority themes across five core areas essential for the successful deployment of BVLOS drones in emergency scenarios:
The Thunderbird initiative emphasizes stakeholder collaboration, open innovation, and shared learning to expedite the routine use of lifesaving BVLOS drone operations across the UK.
ARPAS-UK welcomes and supports The Thunderbird Project’s paper.

The Fair Payment Code (FPC), launched on December 3, 2024, by the UK’s Small Business Commissioner with support from the Department of Business and Trade, aims to promote prompt and fair payment practices across businesses of all sizes. Replacing the previous Prompt Payment Code, the FPC introduces a tiered award system to recognize and encourage exemplary payment behaviors.
Award Tiers:
In addition to meeting these payment criteria, awardees commit to the FPC’s principles of clarity, fairness, and collaboration with their suppliers. The Code aspires to elevate payment standards, encouraging businesses to progress through the award tiers over time. Each award is valid for two years, after which companies must reapply, ensuring ongoing compliance and engagement.
The FPC also establishes a robust complaint system, allowing businesses to report non-compliance or breaches of the Code’s principles. This framework aims to foster a culture of prompt payments, thereby enhancing the resilience and sustainability of supply chains across the UK.
The Prompt Payment Code has been replaced by the Fair Payment Code.
