Government set to provide £800k of funding for military logistics projects

The government has today announced that it will be providing £800k of funding for military logistics projects.

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has launched a programme that seeks innovative ideas from industry and academia that could provide efficiencies for military logistics.

The Right on Time: Automating Military Logistics scheme is looking for ideas for developed technologies to inform future military user requirements across the maritime, land and air sectors.

The organisation said: “Ideas are sought that identify, develop, and demonstrate to the military logistics community that they could deliver a step change in military logistics capability across the Maritime, Land and Air domains.

“A total of £800k is available for this competition to fund multiple proposals, with projects showcasing their innovation at a demonstration event to be held in the UK during September 2021.

“We are interested in technologies which can be progressed towards Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 6 within this timescale.”
