Is the UK Grand Challenge open to foreign teams and/or participants?
A. The MOD’s Grand Challenge is pre-dominantly aimed at UK suppliers – large and small, research laboratories, academia and education science faculties. The MOD will consider interest from teams who have members who are not UK citizens. All teams must have a UK located team base, and all system development must take place in the UK. MOD would expect any participating team to follow our published programme for the Grand Challenge and to be able to demonstrate that they can participate as fully as UK based suppliers with access to UK facilities and resources. It would also be expected that proposals show consideration for how this would be taken forward to a UK Defence capability. Group 1 teams must be prepared to accept MOD terms and conditions of any contract associated with the Grand Challenge and the arrangements regarding Intellectual Property Rights. Q. A proposal may be dependent on one novel but simple concept. Revealing this concept, especially to the enemy may render it useless
