The Open Call is looking for innovative ideas to improve the defence and security of the UK. Your idea could be a concept, product or service, at various levels of maturity. Our Emerging Innovations category is for less mature innovations, and our Rapid Impact Innovations category is for innovations that are more developed. No funding limit is specified, however we would typically expect to fund bids between 拢50K - 拢100K that last between 3 and 10 months. The Open Call welcomes innovations that address defence or security challenges, and some innovations may solve challenges common to both. Our defence and security customers have slightly different requirements, outlined briefly below. Defence innovations can apply to any defence challenge and can be submitted under either Emerging Innovations or Rapid Impact. Security innovations should apply to the following areas and can be submitted under either Emerging Innovations or Rapid Impact: Finding suspected threats on passengers during airport screening For more information on the above innovation focus areas, read our Innovation Focus Areas document. It鈥檚 expected that some proposals will be relevant to both defence and security. Emerging innovations are viewed as those which will deliver a proof of concept at around Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 or 4. Proof of concept might include component and/or sub-system validation in laboratory-style environment. Successful projects may be candidates for follow-on funding in the Rapid Impact Innovation category, although other funding opportunities may be available. The majority of successful projects start at TRL 2 or 3, which means the basic concept has been formulated and the underpinning technological principles observed at the outset. No funding limit is specified, however we would typically expect to fund bids between 拢50K - 拢100K that last between 3 and 10 months. |
