Disruptive Technology

The ‘grey zone’ has received much publicity over the past decade as certain nation-states have employed indirect methods to gain advantages over their opponents without resorting to open kinetic warfare. 

Due to the complexity of the issue, there are several ways of supporting the technological advancements, from accelerating the adoption and prototyping of disruptive technologies to driving strong, collaborative and commercially innovative partnerships.

The DisTec programme offers an opportunity to explore non-traditional solutions and innovations for various aspects of underwater defence and security in a grey zone that are of increasing importance to navies worldwide.
