Details

On behalf of the Home Office, DASA is running a Market Exploration to identify higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL) or adjacent capabilities that could be implemented within the next 18 months. The aim of this exploration is to help the Home Office to have a better understanding of current technologies that could enhance Facial Recognition capabilities.

Your submission will be provided to the Home Office and be visible to law enforcement and security stakeholders within government. Technologies and concepts may be adopted within any future acquisition programmes (the 43 Home Office police forces of England and Wales are an example of potential customers for such technologies).

Please note that this request for information is not a commitment to subsequently launch a formal DASA competition.
