We are pleased to announce the latest Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition: Advanced Radio Frequency Sensing, Integrated Effects and PNT. We are looking for disruptive innovations that change our approaches to delivering pervasive, resilient Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and agile effects , supported by Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) as a Service (PNTaaS), into future Defence & Security Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) landscapes.

Successful proposals will present credible plans for progressing new, advanced technologies which enable ISR and agile effects delivery. We welcome proposals from as low as fundamental technical principles or concepts (TRL 1 or 2). At the end of the project, outputs should be at TRL 3 to 6.

This online event is your chance to hear a summary of the competition requirements, and to ask your specific questions to the project team. The event will run as follows:

Overview of DASA
Overview of the competition: Advanced Radio Frequency Sensing, Integrated Effects and PNT
Break (opportunity to submit questions)
Q&A, facilitated by Slido
Closing remarks

The competition is comprised of 5 challenges. Further details of these can be found on the competition document, found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/apply-for-funding. The challenges are:

Challenge 1- Distributed RF sensing
Challenge 2- Integrated sensing and effects
Challenge 3- Integrated sensing and effects enablers
Challenge 4- PNT as a service
Challenge 5- Novel concepts and architectures for advanced RF sensing and effectors

Please note

This event will be held on MS Teams, with Q&A facilitated by Slido.
Registration for this event will close Wednesday 2 March 2022 at midday.
Instructions on how to join the event and how to submit questions will be sent to the email address used in registration by 6pm Wednesday 2 March 2022. If you haven't received anything by that time, please check your junk folder, or email accelerator@dstl.gov.uk.
