This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition seeks proposals for novel and innovative high risk-high reward projects finishing at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3/ 4. The technologies developed will be based on innovative engineering biology solutions that address defence challenges in one or more of the three topics:
- Materials
- Power and Energy
- Sensing
This competition will involve cutting edge, multidisciplinary research through the application of engineering biology tools and techniques, using novel research approaches and the discovery of new knowledge to address defence challenges.
This competition document covers Phase 1 of the requirement only. The total funding available for the whole Phase 1 of the competition is £1.5m (ex VAT).
The competition deadline is 26 August 2022.
