Space portfolio and ISTARI Industry Day – Monday 29th June
This industry day will be delivering an update on the National Armament Directive’s (NAD’s) Space portfolio landscape, providing an overview of the planned work and developments within the organisation’s purview across all Space Capabilities.
The day will also specifically focus on ISTARI (Space Based Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance) Industry Day and include a briefing from the Authority to Industry, aimed at providing an up-to-date report on the scope, vision and context status for the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) ISTARI programme.
ISTARI is the overarching programme initiated to deliver the UK’s Space Based – Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (SB-ISR) end-to-end requirements. ISTARI will cohere, integrate and adopt various Operational Concept Demonstrators (OCDs) to deliver an ‘in-service’ ISR capability under one programme, delivering UK sovereign, Defence-controlled, continual, resilient, timely, pervasive, and flexible observations across the globe, augmenting capabilities owned and developed by key allies.
Following previous briefings and announcements, this Industry Day will endeavour to contextualise the Authority’s requirements and objectives in the aftermath of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), creating a forum in which to collaborate and engage on various aspects of ISTARI, offering valuable insight and an opportunity to introduce or reacquaint yourselves with the various stakeholders aligned to this programme.
In addition to this, we also welcome a guest speaker from the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) (formerly Crown Commercial Service), who will enlighten attendees on the nascent Space Technology Solutions Dynamic Market (STS DM) (RM6370). The STS DM aims to unlock opportunity through increased flexibility and enhanced commercial mechanisms inherent to the PA23 regulations. As a key stakeholder in its design and implementation, the STS DM has been specifically created as the team’s primary route to market and acts as an evolutionary successor to the Space-Enabled and Geospatial Services Framework (RM6235).

Provision of Housing & Homelessness: Accommodation, Support, and Prevention
Somerset Council is developing future options for its housing and homelessness provision. The aim is to establish a more flexible, person‑centred, and solutions‑focused offer that can better meet the diverse and changing needs of residents. This includes strengthening our homelessness prevention approach and expanding opportunities for social prescribing into appropriate accommodation and support pathways.
