The Defence and Security Accelerator\u00a0(DASA) has launched a new Themed Competition<\/strong><\/a> seeking proposals that achieve greater self-sufficiency and operational endurance for a deployed force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals should select one of the seven challenge areas<\/a><\/strong> to be addressed through this competition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Food \u2013 feeding the winning edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Water \u2013 harvest and recycle water with increasing efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Materiel \u2013 reducing the supply chain burden<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Waste – trash into treasure<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Platform Power & Energy \u2013 enduring energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Platform Thermal Management \u2013 keeping cool for persistent power<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Deployed Power & Energy \u2013 energy fuels persistence<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Solutions to the above challenges must be technologies (e.g. machinery, equipment, items of subsistence). Non-technologies (ways of working, processes and methods) and supporting technologies (technologies that facilitate other technologies), will only be considered if part of a primary technology proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Awards of between \u00a350,000 and \u00a3500,000 are available, with contracts expected to run from November 2024 until December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Refer to sections four and five of the competition document<\/a><\/strong> for further guidance on scope, including what increasing the resilience of deployed forces means in practice and examples of novel ideas to benefit end-users working in UK Defence and Security. Evidence requirements for proposals are covered in section 5.8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Those interested in applying are also encouraged to contact their local Innovation Partner<\/a> <\/strong>to discuss sending a one-page expression of interest to confirm whether or not their idea is in scope (this should be sent no less than three weeks before the competition closes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key dates and support sessions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Supporting events include a launch webinar<\/a> <\/strong>(21 May 2024) and a series of bookable one-to-one teleconference sessions (29 May 2024<\/a>, 4 June 2024<\/a>, 6 June 2024<\/a>), giving you the opportunity to ask specific questions. Booking is on a first come first served basis through the above links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
