AI and quantum funding leaves the intended technology unclear

The innovation proposal allocates £1.6 billion over four years to advanced and dual-use technology, including AI and quantum applications. It names collaborative combat aircraft, Project Asgard, and the Hybrid Navy, alongside a £200 million package referring to Task Force RAID, an AI investment fund, and Project Frontier. The term quantum is left without an explanation of the technology or capability being purchased. Without that detail, the allocation cannot establish what practical result the investment is intended to deliver.
