This phase sought proof-of-concept demonstrations of new and emerging technologies, systems and techniques to enable militarily useful swarming Unmanned Air Systems (<abbr title=\"Unmanned Air System\">UAS<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n<p>Phase 2 was focused on further developing and proving the effectiveness of specific swarming technology aspects as well as swarming enablers.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 3 of this campaign is seeking to further develop and integrate technologies with the objective of demonstrating a swarming <abbr title=\"Unmanned Air System\">UAS<\/abbr> capability, through a flight evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 3 is open to the wider community to seek a complete technology base to deliver an integrated capability. Technology in this area has been rapidly developing since the original Phase 1 call and reopening the challenge allows other organisations who have been developing capabilities related to swarming <abbr title=\"Unmanned Air System\">UAS<\/abbr> to contribute. We actively encourage Phase 1 and Phase 2 participants to contribute to this call as well as new suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>Total funding of up to \u00a32.5 million is available in Phase 3 to fund 1 or 2 projects.
