Details

This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition is funded by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). It is part of the Sensor Fusion and Management (SFM) project which leads on generation-after-next sensor fusion and management research. The project sits under Dstl’s Future Sensing programme and the research generated feeds into the “Sensing” defence S&T capability.

This competition seeks:

• novel algorithms for autonomous sensor management and sensor counter deception for future intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems
• new ideas and contributions to the SFM project via the Stone Soup framework
• to build our community of users and developers by working with a diverse range of external partners.

There are two challenge areas in this competition:

• Challenge 1: Sensor Management
• Challenge 2: Sensor Counter Deception

Total funding available

The total possible funding available for Phase 1 of this competition is £800,000 (excluding VAT).
This competition is looking to fund 6-12 proposals.
Additional funding for further phases to increase TRL may be available. Any future phase, will be open to applications from all innovators and not just those that submitted Phase 1 successful bids.

Where do I submit my proposal?

Via the DASA Online Submission Servicefor which you will require an account. Only proposals submitted through the DASA Online Submission Service will be accepted.
