About

Royal Navy (Ministry of Defence) is seeking information from industry to support participation in the first Annual Maritime Uncrewed Systems Experiment (AMUSE), planned for late March 2027 in a segregated, approximately 250 km2 water space in the United Kingdom. This Request for Information is not a formal tender or commitment to future contracts; it invites industry input to help develop future requirements. The exercise will be supported by a separate, small-scale Maritime Uncrewed Systems Testbed (MUST) to enable assurance of all participating systems in a controlled water space, likely a lake or loch, with the exact location to be determined.
