Defence Science Institute seeks proposals on behalf of UK DASA

The Melbourne-based Defence Science Institute (DSI) is promoting a call for proposals by the UK’s Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA). The Accelerator will be launching an “Autonomous sensor management and sensor counter deception” themed competition in July.

This themed competition will seek proposals that develop solutions for autonomous sensor management and sensor deception in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) scenarios. This competition is the first phase of a competition being run in support of Dstl’s Sensor Fusion and Management (SFM) project which leads on generation-after-next sensor fusion and management research.

A total of £800K is available for this competition. It is intended that a number of proposals will be funded across the two competition challenges. The two challenges are detailed in the news story. The full competition document will be published in July on the DASA website. The UK government agency is seeking proposals that develop solutions for autonomous sensor management and sensor counter-deception in scenarios.

Submissions are due 13 September 2023. 

For Phase 1 of this competition DASA expects to distribute £800,000 ($1.5 billion) across 6 – 12 projects.

The competition is aimed at supporting low TRL innovation, with Phase 1 projects expected to deliver outputs at TRL 3.

One-to-One teleconference sessions are available 27 July 2023 (Register here https://lnkd.in/gYgqtejJ) and 2 August 2023 (Register herehttps://lnkd.in/gguVJXvD)
