Human Augmentation launch webinar

UK Defence Innovation

Join the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) on 3 May , to hear more about this new competition, and ask your questions.

This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition aims to develop safe and ethical, Generation-After-Next (GAN) [footnote 2] prototype HA technologies that mitigate human performance as the limiting factor in a UK Defence environment. Suppliers are invited to develop and prototype a HA technology to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5-6. (e.g. test and evaluation of a prototype in a relevant environment) by the end of the contract.

For this competition, a relevant environment is one that can be simulated in a laboratory setting, for example, a control room, a treadmill based march, extreme (controlled) environments and a scenario that includes decision making as a team or a scenario that is presented in virtual reality. Please note that these examples are not exhaustive.

Suppliers will be invited to submit proposals to develop HA technologies to reduce human performance as the limiting factor in Defence scenarios. Suppliers should focus on technologies that influence the following human capabilities and aptitudes, including but not limited to:

<ul><li>sensory enhancement to support mission outcomes
</li><li>collaborative working (including human-human and human-machine)
</li><li>attention during tasks with a cognitive element
</li><li>enhanced decision making (reduced time and improved outcomes)
</li><li>physical endurance
</li><li>strength
</li><li>overcoming limitations to physical and cognitive fatigue</li></ul>This competition has 3 use cases.

Suppliers will be invited to submit proposals against one (or a combination) of the following use cases:

Use Case 1: Biofeedback Systems
Systems that measure user state, interpret the resulting data and deliver an effect based on the data.

Use Case 2: The Warfighter Ensemble
Equipment that is worn closely on the body and is designed to optimise and enhance biological functions.

Use Case 3: Sensory Enhancements
Enhancing the human senses beyond typical biological capability.Enhancing the human senses beyond typical biological capability.T﻿his webinar will give you a chance to ask the team any questions you have about the competition.
