Details
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is launching Phase 2 of Map the Gap - autonomous gap crossing survey.
This competition is seeking technologies to demonstrate an automated or autonomous system to reconnoitre a potential wide wet gap crossing site. This includes both the navigation to and from potential crossing site and data collection.
Phase 1 of this competition has indicated that it was possible to integrate existing sensors to delivery platforms to gather the physical gap measurements required. Submissions for Phase 2 should consider how a final system would be deployed within a military context.
Phase 2 has up to £2 million available to fund multiple proposals.
For this phase we are encouraging collaboration between suppliers. To support this we have a short survey to collect details of suppliers who wish to explore collaboration possibilities.
This competition closes on Tuesday 9 March 2021 at midday (GMT).
There will be a further session of Map the Gap 1-to-1s on February 10 2021. Please register on the Eventbrite page
