The Osprey team will be presenting and exhibiting at ESAS on 22nd and 23rd June 2016 at the Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Headquarters at Abbey Wood in Bristol.
The Environmental and Safety Assurance Symposium (ESAS) is the MOD’s flagship event focusing on Equipment Safety and Environmental Management. This year the theme is ‘Engineering for Defence – Safely and Responsibly’ and Nick Durston will be presenting our paper themed around autonomous systems and the safety challenges facing an autonomous military road vehicles’ risk assessment.
This paper explores some of the potential challenges facing the introduction of autonomous military road vehicles, especially in the absence of a clear definition of what an autonomous system actually is. The automotive industry is currently transitioning to position itself to introduce autonomous road vehicles to the global market and it is widely expected that the UK MOD will procure such technologies. This paper discusses autonomy from the standpoints of the aerospace and automotive industries, focusing on Unmanned Aerial Systems and autonomous civil and military road vehicles.
Within the Exhibition Hall, our team will also be available to talk about our latest projects including our work in UAS, and how we are influencing European and International policy direction for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
We look forward to seeing you there!
