Following the success of the previous three CORE events, the UK National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will host another event from Monday, October 7th, to Friday, October 11th, 2024. This event will focus on using AI to detect, categorize, or identify UAS threats.

CORE is a collaborative environment for companies with C-UAS technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 and above to experiment, research, and develop their capabilities. It provides a community-driven approach to research and development, enabling C-UAS companies to collaborate, engage in two-way communication with the UK Government and international partners, and access the expertise of NPSA and the Cross-Government Science & Technology community.

The October CORE event will be open to technologies utilizing AI to detect, categorize, or identify threats posed by UAS. This includes but is not limited to, the use of AI for:

– Initial detection in congested spectrum environments
– Improved classification (differentiating UAS from non-UAS and further detailing)
– Automatic threat intent assessment
– Achieving superior outcomes compared to traditional fusion, correlation, and tracking algorithms and techniques

Companies interested in this opportunity should visit the Capability Optimisation Research Environment (CORE)- Expression of Interest website. The expression of interest form must be completed and submitted by Friday, August 9th, 2024.
