About the event

DASA is hosting a collaboration day on Wednesday 27 February 2019 as part of the Invisible Battlespace competition.

The event will:

  • provide an opportunity for both new and existing suppliers to seek collaborations for Phase 2
  • deliver presentations from Phase 1 suppliers on the work they are undertaking
  • encourage teaming across industry and academia

Although new funding will not be available at this event, Phase 2 of the DASA competition will be launching later this year and will be seeking collaborative proposals from both new and existing suppliers.

The Invisible Battlespace competition

In July 2018, DASA launched Phase 1 of the Invisible Battlespace competition.

Funded by a number of Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) programmes, Phase 1 of this competition sought proposals to enable defence and security to effectively conduct Electromagnetic Operations across the Air, Land (urban and rural), Sea, Space and Cyber domains.

Overall, 22 bids were successful with total funding of £1.9 million awarded.

Phase 2 of the competition will be launching later this year and will be open to both new and existing suppliers.

Further details will be released through the DASA website.
