## Description
This Request For Information (RFI) is issued for Royal Navy, as part of Ministry of Defence (also known as “The Authority”). This is not a formal tender competition or commitment to any future contract(s). It is an opportunity for industry to provide information to assist in development of future requirements. 
It is in relation to an opportunity for industry to participate in the first Annual Maritime Uncrewed Systems Experiment (AMUSE), to be conducted in a segregated (250km2 approximately) water space in the United Kingdom, in late March 2027. This will be supported by a separate small-scale trial, the Maritime Uncrewed Systems Testbed (MUST) that will enable the assurance of all participating systems in a controlled water space (likely a lake, or loch), location still to be determined.
