The day will be split into two sessions covering:

  1. the support elements intended to be contracted through a ‘systems house’.
  2. the proposed technologies currently under consideration

The sessions will consist of presentations on each of the elements as well as discussions during which industry participation and feedback is encouraged. All information gathered will be taken into consideration and may inform the future strategy of the programme.
