The organization, Aria, will work along the lines of US counterparts that have played a part in the growth of the internet and GPS. They said that Aria, which has $1.1 billion support for four years, would have a higher tolerance for failure than is normal.

The new organization - the Advanced Research & Invention Agency (Aria) - will the government said, finance high-risk, high-reward experimental research. But the amount of funding it will get is a fraction of the money pumped into existing government research bodies such as UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
Britain to Launch ‘High Risk, High Reward’ Science Agency
The UK is to launch a new “high risk, high reward” agency to quickly identify cutting-edge science and technology research, it was revealed on Friday.
The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) will allow world-leading scientists the freedom to find and back “ground-breaking discoveries that could transform people’s lives for the better,” the government said in a media release.
It said ARIA will aim to seek out pioneers and support them to make innovations on a par with things like the internet and the Global Positioning System (GPS).
The agency’s hunt for research that is high risk but promises high rewards by making “transformational” innovations will be supported by £800 million ($1.1 billion) of government money.

Autonomous submarines made with next-generation harvesting systems for energy might be on the horizon. These systems will be added to robotic machines that might be a reality as the technology gets better.

One of the trends that the US Navy is pursuing is unmanned underwater vehicles for different applications. Aside from unmanned surface vehicles, there are more developments exclusive to the US Navy.

(L3Harris) WASHINGTON In January 2017, one of the government’s newest weather satellites picked up the most bizarre signal: a wildfire moving at breakneck speeds across the Atlantic Ocean. Now, wildfires don’t spread across the ocean, and they certainly don’t move at the pace being reported. What was going on?

DARPA’s LongShot drone, Northrop Grumman concept art
WASHINGTON: DARPA plans to flight test a prototype of a novel air-launched drone one designed to launch its own high-speed air-to-air missiles as soon as the first half of 2024.
LongShot is conceived as an autonomous, air-launched uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) that can serve as a sort of mothership, launching its own air-to-air missiles once in range of enemy aircraft.
DARPA has tapped General Atomics, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman to provide preliminary designs under Phase 1 of its new LongShot program. LongShot aims to demonstrate a drone that would be launched by fighters or bombers flying at stand-off ranges, autonomously fly into enemy airspace, and then launch its own air-to-air missiles to take down enemy aircraft.
