The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is excited to announce the launch of a new Early Market Engagement (EME) pilot initiative, on behalf of The MOD Innovation Directorate on the theme of Uncrewed Systems. This pilot aims to collaboratively challenge MOD problem areas and identify potential solutions that could rapidly deliver capability for defence and determine whether a full competition in this area is required.
The initial pilot will concentrate on two critical sub-systems of Uncrewed Systems:
- Position, Navigation and Timing in Highly Contested Environments
- Low-cost, Fast Engines
In short:
- DASA is running an Early Market Engagement (EME) pilot activity on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) on the theme of Uncrewed Systems.
- The EME pilot will take a collaborative approach to problem curation with industry/academia to establish the requirement for a full competition.
- Workshops will be held in Bristol, London and Newcastle and welcome participants from both industry and academia. Applications for workshop attendance closes 12:00pm midday 31 October 2024 (GMT)
