Details
On behalf of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is running a Market Exploration to identify Alternative Navigation technologies from the higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL) spectrum (≥4) that have no or reduced reliance on Global Positioning Systems. In particular we would be interested to identify operational systems that have the potential to be further developed to meet more demanding specifications required for military applications.
Market exploration activities enable us to determine solutions that already exist and areas that potentially require further investment. We do this by collecting information to better understand the current market capability in a specific area in order to stimulate the market and shape the focus of any follow on activity.
Whilst this request for information is not a commitment to launch a formal DASA competition in the future, it is envisaged that promising technologies and concepts may influence policy and could be exploited within any subsequent acquisition programmes.
The Market Exploration will be open for submissions until midday April 7 2022. Please see the Competition Document for further information on the topic and details of how to make a submission.
