Underground Tunnelling Techniques
08/07/2024
15/08/2024
Summary of the challenge
Underground tunnelling presents an array of opportunities and challenges, so the MoD would like to know how technologies and capabilities in this area could be better harnessed for future operations. In particular there is an interest in how to better access hostile and constrained subterranean environments. The latest HMGCC Co- Creation challenge is to demonstrate ways of producing subterranean pathways, preferably greater than 60mm diameter, with minimal chance of being detected.
Organisations are being asked to apply if they have the capability / technology to contribute to early and ambitious concept demonstrators in a 12 week project. HMGCC Co-Creation will provide funding for time, material, overheads and other indirect expenses.
About HMGCC Co-Creation

HMGCC Co-Creation is a partnership between HMGCC and Dstl (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory), created to deliver a new, bold and innovative way of working with the wider UK science and technology community. We bring together the best in class across industry, academia, and government, to work collaboratively on national security engineering challenges and accelerate innovation.

What are Co-Creation Spaces?
Co-Creation Spaces bring together key public and private sector parties to foster open and collaborative development of high-impact, user-driven technology solutions around a cross-cutting theme critical to national security, at a pace and scale that could not otherwise be achieved. HMGCC does not directly task or fund the Co-Creation Spaces or the projects within them. HMGCC does provide the partnerships and enablers under which Co-Creation can thrive. In return, Co-Creation Spaces provide HMGCC with a practical outlet for our core work, allowing us to develop cross-cutting capabilities, test concepts and develop best practice in Co-Creation that will be fed back into the Co-Creation Spaces and to wider partners.
