Unlocking Space for Dual Use Request for Information

Description

The UK Space Agency plays a major role in delivering the government's National Space Strategy. The Government has committed in the National Space Strategy and Defence Space Strategy to a cross-departmental approach on Dual Use technology. It has also committed to identifying new opportunities for Dual Use and to embed the concept within defence capability management. To meet these commitments and to support the catalysing investment value proposition Dual Use has been identified as a priority for the UK Space Agency, promoting the development of and investment into space capabilities which can be used in the civil - defence dual use contexts by both the private and public sector. The UK Space Agency is in the process of scoping the Unlocking Space for Dual Use project to support this priority, and this Request for Information (RFI) will inform the project development. This RFI is directed at organisations developing technologies and capabilities that can be or are already used for both civilian and defence applications, and it has the objective of collating information on best practice on Dual Use initiatives as well as areas of improvement and potential barriers that might prevent their success in the space sector. This RFI will help guide UK Space Agency's interaction with potential and existing Dual Use companies. We therefore welcome your responses, and we look forward to your valuable insights. Our team is grateful in advance for the time and effort taken in replying to this Request for Information. The deadline for responses is close of play (5pm), 27th of May 2024. Submissions of the completed questionnaire should be sent as either a Microsoft Word or PDF (Portable Document Format) to: commercial@ukspaceagency.gov.uk with "Unlocking Space for Dual Use RFI" as the subject line.
