DASA has just announced an innovation competition seeking ideas relating to Rapid Sanitising Technology. 

We are looking to identify, develop and demonstrate innovations which will be required to undergo practical assessment at Dstl Porton Down and a live demonstration on an ambulance. 

Innovations must be suitable for rapid deployment to clean public sector vehicles following the transport of patients with the COVID-19 virus.

Ideally systems will have wider applicability than just ambulances, which might include buses, trains, and other blue light services or even in hospital wards / rooms. 

We are seeking ideas that can rapidly be developed and tested with potential to be scaled and used across the UK over the coming months. 

If you have a novel idea that fits this challenge, you can submit a proposal here via our Open Call.

The next Open Call deadline is 1st April 2020 midday.

If you wish to share this through your social media networks please see DASA’s posts on Linkedin, Twitter

Please get in touch if you wish to discuss a project that could solve this challenge.
