Details

This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition is seeking proposals for innovative technologies to deliver information exchange capabilities that are resilient in a highly dynamic operating environment where there are significant challenges from congestion and contention (e.g. jamming). The following areas are of interest:

• novel communication techniques
• novel coding and modulation
• novel networking techniques

We are interested in innovations that will reach Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) of between 3 and 6, at the end of the Phase 1 competition.

£500k is available for this Phase 1 DASA competition. There is no upper-limit per proposal for this competition, but we are expecting to fund around 5 to 10 proposals.

The competition closes for submissions at midday BST on Wednesday 7 April 2021.

Suppliers must complete the Supplier Assurance Questionnaire (SAQ) prior to competition close at midday BST on Wednesday 7 April 2021. You can do this by registering and logging onto the Supplier Cyber Protection Portal. When prompted during the SAQ, please enter the Risk Assessment Reference (RAR) number for this competition: RAR-GPGK52DP.

You must enter the SAQ reference number within the DASA submission service portal when you submit your proposal. If your SAQ suggests you are non-compliant this does not prevent you submitting a proposal; please still enter your SAQ number in your proposal and if you are successful in the competition and awarded funding, you will be required to complete a Cyber Implementation Plan (CIP) to become compliant which we will agree with you, before the contract is placed.
