Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA): Human Augmentation (HA)

Aims to develop novel, Generation-After-Next (GAN) prototype HA technologies which can be harnessed safely and ethically that mitigate human performance as the limiting factor in a UK Defence environment.

Technologies that influence the following human capabilities and aptitudes include:

• sensory enhancement to support mission outcomes
• collaborative working (including human-human and human-machine)
• attention during tasks with a cognitive element
• enhanced decision making (reduced time and improved outcomes)
• physical endurance
• strength
• overcoming limitations to physical and cognitive fatigue

Funding: Up to £2 million is available for this competition, and DASA expects to fund 5 to 10 proposals.
