DASA launches search for telexistence technology
Funding available to develop capabilities to operate in hazardous environments without physically being present
From: Defence and Security Accelerator and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory
The deadline for proposals is Thursday 19 November 2020
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is looking to develop and demonstrate innovative technology or novel solutions that would give military personnel, emergency services, or humanitarian workers the capability to operate in hazardous environments without physically being present.
