So Here’s The Problem….
Some ISR Challenges
• Reduced sensor size
• Complex urban areas
• Multi-level, multi-function sensors
• Common modules across domains and networks
• Co-existence on a crowded spectrum
• Multi-function architectures
• Data deluge • Next-generation devices
The Barriers
• Prospecting • IPR management • The valley of death • Business models and
finance • Teaming and alliancing
• Penetrating the crowded
market

The Defence Growth Partnership But:
• Customer’s needs are changing in an uncertain world.
• Competition is fiercer and technology is driving new solutions.
• Governments use major defence acquisitions to generate indigenous capacity.
• The market wants tailored or integrated solutions supported by the UK Government with the provision of technology transfer, inward investment and local partnering.
So:
• How do we organise ourselves in the UK to respond to these needs?
• What new means might we apply to ‘developing product’ and then push it to market?
