Industrial direction 04
Defence & Autonomous Systems Programmes
Industrial and engineering participation in allied autonomous-system programmes under dedicated programme authority.
01 — UPMC industrial role
Corporate industrial capability and programme authority remain distinct.
UPMC provides industrial development, engineering coordination, manufacturing preparation, Ukrainian industrial participation and implementation support. Dedicated system and programme authority remains within the specialised SACE ecosystem.
02 — Participation model
From industrial capability to dedicated programme authority.
03 — Capability interface
Industrial participation organised around programme requirements.
Engineering coordination
Manufacturing preparation
Ukrainian industrial participation
Integration support
04 — Authority boundary
UPMC supports implementation; SACE retains programme authority.
UPMC's role is industrial, engineering and implementation-oriented. SACE remains the dedicated programme and system authority. STRIX may be referenced only within that SACE context and is not presented as a separate UPMC industrial direction.
05 — Dedicated programme authority
SACE provides the specialised programme and system architecture.
The STRIX Allied Cognitive Ecosystem is the dedicated authority for the associated autonomous-system programme architecture. UPMC contributes industrial and engineering capability without absorbing SACE's programme identity or system authority.
06 — Cooperation
Discuss industrial participation in autonomous-system programmes.
Engage UPMC on industrial development, engineering coordination, manufacturing preparation or implementation interfaces under the appropriate programme authority.
