The Rapid Innovation Cell (RIC) - UK MOD Open Architecture and Testing Approach for C-sUAS (Counter Drone) Systems - The misuse of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) represents a significant and growing risk to operations and day-to-day Defence activity both in the UK and overseas. The Rapid Innovation Cell (RIC), endorsed by the Military Capability Board, has been established as part of the UAS Capability Development Centre (UASCDC) to test and evaluate (T&E) mature C-sUAS capabilities and generate a managed Defence database of available capabilities. Through a regular programme of T&E events, the RIC will establish the efficacy of commercially available capabilities. It will also increase broader awareness of the C-sUAS market and support a more agile method of delivering capability to the front line. To prevent capability gaps and ensure interoperability, it is intended that Defence C-sUAS systems will use the 'SAPIENT' open architecture. This will also ensure that our systems can evolve at the component level enabling the spiral development of capability. RIC Test Cycle #1 The RIC has established a series of Test Cycles. Each Test Cycle will focus on a particular subset of C-sUAS systems. Test Cycles will be scheduled for every six months, nominally in the autumn and spring of each year. Suppliers of mature C-sUAS products are invited to apply to have their product's performance assessed by the RIC. To apply you must complete the appropriate online questionnaire for your product. The product questionnaires will be available from 11:00am Monday 24th August, 2020, and responses must be fully completed and submitted by 11:00am Monday 21st September, 2020. Please complete a separate product questionnaire for each product that you wish to put forward for assessment. Test Cycle #1, will focus on two types of system: 1. static, land-based, integrated C-sUAS systems (consisting of a minimum two types of sensors and an RF jammer, integrated with C2) 2. static, land-based, passive RF detection sensors Your response to the product questionnaire will be carefully evaluated. Your product will be eligible for the next phase of testing (Factory Tests) if it meets our maturity requirements and is clearly within the scope of the two types of system described above. A full set of guidance and testing criteria are provided on the UK C-sUAS Defence Portal.

C-sUAS Pre-Procurement Testing Approach The RIC has established a series of Test Cycles. Each Test Cycle will focus on a particular subset of C-sUAS systems. Test Cycles will be scheduled for every six months, nominally in the autumn and spring of each year. At the start of each Test Cycle, a four-week application window will be opened for potential suppliers to put forward their mature products for testing via an online product questionnaire. • Test Cycle #1, planned for autumn 2020, will focus on two types of system: 1. static, land-based, integrated C-sUAS systems (consisting of a minimum two types of sensors and an RF jammer, integrated with C2) 2. static, land-based, passive RF detection sensors • Test Cycle #2, planned for spring 2021, will focus on static, land-based, Cyber Effectors, that can effect a drone's mission. The RIC maintains a register of potential C-sUAS suppliers. All potential suppliers registered with the RIC will receive access to a UK C-sUAS Defence Portal containing information about the testing approach and the interface specification. The online product questionnaire will be hosted on the UK C-sUAS Defence Portal and will be the only way to apply for testing with the RIC. Hence, potential suppliers are advised to register with the RIC to ensure timely access to information and application windows.

Contract for the Supply of a Distributed Acoustic Sensing Unit to the University of Birmingham - Silixa Ltd have already successfully collaborated with University of Birmingham on the use and development of an earlier generation of acoustic sensing equipment (Bense et al., 2016), so we know that they are prepared to act in this way and we can build on the existing relationship. Silixa have agreed to include free training for university staff on using the iDAS unit. While this might not appear exceptional, Silixa staff have co-authored three of above references and thus their knowledge and research experience will be uniquely valuable for the success of our project - we have one year remaining on the capital grant that is funding the equipment and in which to obtain robust datasets; we simply do not have time to make 'learning to use the equipment in previously untried applications' on the way. We also have a limited research budget and Silixa Ltd have included a generous discount on the normal cost of this equipment on the condition that we use it collaboratively and only for academic research. The research funding awarded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council for purchasing this equipment is a maximum of £200,000 plus VAT.

Sensor Supply & Data Collection System - The Smartline project is a joint initiative between the University of Exeter, Coastline Housing, Volunteer Cornwall, Cornwall Council and The South West Academic Health Science Network. The project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cornwall Council. The Smartline project will collect new data, connect previously un-linked data and use innovative data analytical techniques to enable timely and targeted interventions, involving existing and new service providers. It will also provide a more efficient and effective lettings and asset management model for social housing, develop more resilient communities, and address issues of social isolation.
