The DASA Don't Blow It! competition has - subject to funding and contract - a total of up to £1.5 million funding for a second phase, following a successful Phase 1.

DASA is looking for innovations (at technology readiness level (TRL) 3 upwards) to develop full-scale prototypes ready for testing on agent simulants and munition surrogates. Please note, it is not compulsory to have been involved in Phase 1 to apply. Funding is due to be approved before the competition closes.
