    Brief

    The Royal Navy is inviting suppliers to register their interest for preliminary market engagement on the Type 93 Extra-Large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (XLUUV) programme and the AUKUS Signature Payload Programme. This is an opportunity to engage with the Royal Navy early to help shape future requirements and procurement strategy. Who should apply: XLUUV platform providers, payload developers, autonomy and AI software suppliers, mission management system providers, systems integrators, through-life support providers, and other relevant suppliers in the uncrewed underwater vehicle ecosystem. What to expect: Organisations that register may be invited to participate in collaborative workshops, one-to-one meetings, industry days, and written information requests. Your feedback will directly inform the Royal Navy's requirements development and future procurement planning. Key details: The Royal Navy is initially considering platforms approximately 2 metres in diameter and 12 metres in length, but suppliers with alternative dimensions are also encouraged to register. This registration does not commit the Royal Navy to future procurement activities. The programme aligns with the Strategic Defence Review, Defence Investment Plan, and AUKUS Pillar II priorities, supporting the UK's transition to a hybrid navy through autonomous and uncrewed maritime capabilities.
