Dstl

We had a very busy #DPRTE this year - but if you missed us, you can still find out about opportunities to work with Dstl: https://lnkd.in/exxMDiC

"It’s critical that given the developments in the world, we accelerate technology out of the lab into military capability.” Find out how Dstl, with Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), Thales Defence and partners, carried out cutting-edge work on radio wave weapons at pace to bring the UK operational advantage. https://lnkd.in/e7U4c9m4

Dstl’s unique science and technology capabilities and collaborative approach have enabled rapid development of radio frequency directed energy weaponry, set to deliver mission success for the UK’s Armed Forces. 👇

The British Army's new robotic mine plough, called WEEVIL, was developed collaboratively by Dstl and Pearson Engineering Ltd - a British company based in the north-east - using the latest technology. Dstl helps generate prosperity and economic growth by working with partners across UK industry and academia to drive innovation in defence. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ed2vHpFs

As a trusted partner of Dstl, we take huge pride in working with them to deliver meaningful outcomes. This is especially true for the #AI & #Autonomy for the #Intelligence, #Surveillance and #Reconnaissance Enterprise (A²ISR) project , which drew to a close in March. A²ISR harnessed the true meaning of collaboration. We worked with Dstl and industry as one team to develop explore, demonstrate and harness battle-winning AI and Autonomy capabilities within the ISR enterprise.

WATCH: A remote-controlled #mine plough could soon be helping keep our Armed Forces safe - and giving them an operational advantage. By cutting through minefields, the device clears explosives and pushes them aside, opening a safe path for troops to move faster and more securely towards critical enemy positions or key objectives.

At Dstl, our research, science and technology delivers operational advantage and mission success to protect lives. We're proud to introduce WEEVIL - a groundbreaking remote-controlled mine plough system developed with @Pearson Engineering Ltd that's soon to be tested by @British Army. This innovative system: • Saves lives by keeping soldiers miles away from danger during minefield clearing • Creates safe pathways through minefields faster than current methods • Converts existing vehicles with advanced remote-control technology • Helps troops reach critical positions more quickly and safely WEEVIL represents the perfect combination of proven technology and modern innovation, demonstrating how our research gives British forces the operational advantage they need in challenging environments. As Minister for the Armed Forces Luke Pollard said: "It demonstrates British innovation, by British industry, to protect British troops." #ScienceForUKDefence #ProtectingLives #OperationalAdvantage #ResearchAndTechnology

Pearson Engineering has unveiled its collaboration with Dstl to deliver remote-controlled minefield breaching, advancing thinking around engineering capability in a remote and autonomous world. Bringing together Pearson Engineering's Full Width Mine Plough and recently announced BEACON remote control system, the Warrior based ‘WEEVIL’ has passed initial phases of trials and will now progress further in the hands of the British Army.   WEEVIL comprises a specially adapted full width mine plough, building on Pearson Engineering’s decades of expertise in the field of minefield breaching to provide an optimised plough for Warrior, a much lighter vehicle than typical hosts. The vehicle and plough are controlled by Pearson Engineering’s recently announced BEACON remote control system which is designed to convert legacy vehicles into uncrewed platforms.   Pearson Engineering’s BEACON builds on extensive global research, development, trials and testing, and is now established as a distinct, standalone product.
