Date Time Exciting space tech on show at joint UK/US held demo-day In November 2020, the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) hosted the world’s first International Space Pitch Day (ISPD) – a joint UK and US initiative to find and fast-track innovations that enhance space domain capabilities. The competition culminated in ten tech start-ups securing contracts each worth up to £53,000, after pitching exciting space technologies directly to UK, US and NATO military leaders. To keep pace w...

Topics The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has signed CGI to develop an AI network for the second phase of its Intelligent Ship project. The network will be used to bring together trained AI applications from CGI and other providers working with the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) to improve the understanding of how human-machine teams can collaborate in military decision making. CGI will lead the integration of AI agents and delivery of the Intelligent Ship demonstrat...

DASA is seeking to identify innovations that can deliver a step change in military logistics capability across the Maritime, Land and Air domains.

Details The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is launching Phase 1 of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle Testbed – Opportunity to Integrate. This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition seeks proposals for novel and innovative sensors and payloads to be trialled on an extra-large, uncrewed, underwater vehicle (XLUUV). The XLUUV is a platform the Royal Navy uses to understand potential capabilities of autonomous vehicles. This competition is looking for technologies ready for on-pla...

Using research undertaken by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory ( Dstl), Sentinel Photonics offers a unique range of laser detection and protection products. For the first time, protection from laser-based threats for dismounted soldiers is possible, potentially saving lives and improving survivability. The technology detects and analyses invisible lasers used ahead of weapon systems to provide advance warning of attacks. Over time a bank of laser ‘signatures’ will be created tha...
