Funding for advanced materials for defence innovations

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is running an open call on a new Innovation Focus Area (IFA) for advanced materials for defence

This IFA aims to harness strengths in the UK landscape to provide innovative solutions in advanced materials to support generation-after-next defence capabilities.

Innovations are sought across two challenge areas:

• Challenge 1: Intelligent materials and structures
• Challenge 2: Materials for enhanced thermal management

This IFA will run for at least two funding cycles of the open call. The open call for innovation runs throughout the year. Assessment starts the day after the competition cycle closing date.

Find a list of the cycle closing dates for 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.

DASA expects to fund several proposals between £100,000 to £300,000 as part of this competition.
