DASA: Innovation in Support of Operations (Phase 2)

Run on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, this competition aims to identify and accelerate innovative solutions and techniques, ensuring they can be scaled and deployed faster than our adversaries.

There are five Challenge Areas:

• UAS Propulsion
• Repair or recondition 155mm Artillery barrels
• Autonomous navigation systems for UAS and USVs
• Seekers
• UAS detect and destroy (or both)

The UK Government is continually assessing lessons from world events. From these lessons, we seek to rapidly adopt solutions that enhance our military and economic advantage. This competition is designed to identify nearly-ready solutions and techniques that can be accelerated into scalable and deliverable effect faster than our adversaries.
