Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which UK companies are participating in the Autonomous Last Mile Resupply project.

Five bids were selected for Phase 2 of the Autonomous Last Mile Resupply Challenge, four of which feature UK-based lead contractors. These are: QinetiQ Ltd; Animal Dynamics Ltd; Barnard Microsystems Ltd; and, Horiba Mira Ltd. The fifth lead is Fleetonomy ai, a Finnish-based company.

All of these lead contractors will be utilising broader support from additional UK-based sub-contractors (which include industry and academia) in order to maximise the delivered capability under this phase of the project.
