The brief

Contract Award Following PIN 2021/S 000-028279 available at: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028279-2021.

Advertised at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af97a367-f53e-4c7e-add7-1316aa76f950 Project ATLANTIS vision and Maritime Underwater Future Capability (MUFC) employs a combination of submarine (SSN(R)) and autonomous off-board systems.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are regarded as a key component of future underwater and covert operations.

Three non-lethal mission sets (Anti-Submarine/Surface Warfare; Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance; and Seabed Warfare) will be used by the study to consider AUV operational employment over the next 30 years.

In each of the three cases, the output comprises a CONOPS including the full range of operational employment of vehicle and systems and an outline of the likely operational constraints, particularly technical challenges.

The CONOPS will be presented in the form of a Joint Concept Note.
