Invisible Shield Launch Event
April 29, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm BST
This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition is run on behalf of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). It aims to develop and demonstrate a number of novel technologies and techniques in the area of Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) Electronic Counter Measures (ECM). The purpose of these technologies and techniques must consider the need for ECM systems to evolve at a rate commensurate with this fast paced and complex market for Radio Frequency (RF) target devices, which are available for nefarious exploitation by our adversaries, criminals and terrorists.
In Phase 1 we expect to fund short term investigations into technologies and techniques that have not been exploited in the counter IED context before. We would expect these to last no more than 9 months. We would expect to fund up to 10 of these concepts in Phase 1 with a funding amount up to £150k per project.
The launch will take place on 29 April 2020 online and will include an overview of the competition .
