The UK Defense and Security Accelerator (DASA): Delivering operational advantage via improved self-sufficiency and operational energy innovation

Seeking proposals for novel technologies that will enable defence to achieve greater self-sufficiency and operational endurance for a deployed force, allowing the force to be more resilient, agile and self-sustaining.
There are 7 challenges:

1. Food – feeding the winning edge
2. Water – harvest and recycle water with increasing efficiency
3. Materiel – reducing the supply chain burden
4. Waste - trash into treasure
5. Platform Power & Energy – enduring energy
6. Platform Thermal Management – keeping cool for persistent power
7. Deployed Power & Energy – energy fuels persistence

Funding: £50k - £500k for 13 month contracts.
