The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has launched Phase 2 of A Joint Effort. Please register to book a one to one telecon slot with members of the competition team to discuss this competition. There will also be a group presentation from 10.00 -11.30am on the same day with an open forum Q&A.

In Phase 2, the campaign is seeking to increase collaboration between the two nations, building both on innovations from Phase 1 and exploring entirely new concepts.

The technical challenges remain unchanged from Phase 1. Many different materials are within scope, including joining combinations of composites, metals, ceramics and polymers. Potential joining solutions should provide enhanced capability through one of the following:

improved performance through use of new material combinations or structural designs
improved durability of structures through better joints
improved ability to maintain joints through the life of the military platform

Full details can be found in the competition document which has been published on GOV.UK and proposals are now being accepted.

Please note:

tickets for the group presentation and open forum Q&A are available through a separate link
