Competition: Biosensing across wide areas
Detecting and locating deposited hazardous biological agents rapidly in the field
Documents
Details
This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition seeks proposals for innovative technologies that provide an improved way to detect and locate deposited hazardous biological agents rapidly in the field.
DASA are interested in proof-of-concept technologies with a view to, in the longer term, developing a fieldable system for the detection and location of hazardous biological material deposited over a wide area. The fieldable system would report rapidly without users coming into close contact with the hazard.
Initial funding of up to £500k is available in Phase 1 of this competition from which we anticipate funding around 3 to 5 projects. We expect Phase 1 proposals for proof-of-concept research projects of up to 6 months in duration. Additional funding is anticipated to be available for future phases of this competition.
This competition is now open and full details are available in the competition document.
