GAMMA Background information

Overview

What was the GAMMA Programme?

The aim of the Growing Autonomous Mission Management Applications (GAMMA) Programme was a three year £9 million programme develop existing software applications (‘apps’), which may also be supported by sensor integration, for managing autonomous systems for unmanned vehicles.

There was £1.7m worth of Regional Growth Funding to support SME Activity in the Programme, with Companies expected to provide around 30% match through in kind contribution. The programme wasa collaboration between eight industry and academic partners: North West Aerospace Alliance (NWAA), BAE Systems, Universities of Manchester, Lancaster, Salford, Liverpool, UCLAN, Liverpool (including the Virtual Engineering Centre), National Nuclear Laboratories Limited. The Programme has also been supported by Lancashire County Council.

detailed technology requirements

GAMMA was intended to help grow the UK’s industrial base by supporting the development of novel ‘software applications’ for autonomous systems

Why?

The GAMMA programme was created to ask that, given that the intelligent vehicles and systems will exist – and remotely operated systems already do, how can they be used most effectively and how can the UK benefit most from that market?

The GAMMA partners have an exceptional depth of knowledge about the applications of autonomous systems and have identified areas where the application of novel software capabilities would be beneficial to growing the market.
