Date Time Wireless Communications, Networking and Information Theory Competition The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is looking for innovations to deliver information exchange capabilities that are resilient in a highly-dynamic operating environment where there are significant challenges from congestion and contention, such as jamming. novel communication techniques novel networking techniques On behalf of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) there is £500k available for this DASA competition, with the expectation that between 5 to 10 proposals will be funded. This co...

Dstl and the NDA, who are keen to realise the potential benefits of such technologies in the nuclear sector. The Telexistence competition aims to develop and demonstrate innovative technologies and novel solutions that have the potential to give military and government personnel, emergency services, or humanitarian workers the capability to operate in hazardous environments without physically being present. Ultimately, this capability will allow a human operator to perform complex tasks and operate equipment from a safe distance. Rob Baldock, This is the culmination of several years of deve...

2 February 2021 The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has today launched a competition that seeks innovative ideas from industry and academia that could provide efficiencies for military logistics. Ideas are sought that identify, develop, and demonstrate to the military logistics community that they could deliver a step change in military logistics capability across the Maritime, Land and Air domains. Right on Time: Automating Military Logistics, is focussed primarily on innovative ideas in autonomy and the potential automation of the logistics chain. The aim is for the developed techno...

Autonomous Navigation – with or without GNSS Sonardyne’s SPRINT-Nav was used on a SEA-KIT X class for DASA demonstration project. Photo from Sonardyne. SPRINT-Nav trails for USV navigation was pitched against local GNSS RTK. Image from Sonardyne. Use of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) as operational tools in their own right is gaining increasing traction. From harbour patrol to offshore wind operations, USVs and autonomous shipping are seen as an opportunity to reduce cost, risk to humans and our carbon footprints. But they don’t come w...
