DASA reaches out to security sector for Improving Crowd Resilience

Following the 2017 terror attacks in Manchester and London, the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) and the Home Office’s Office for Security and Counter Terrorism (OSCT) initiated the £2 million 'Improving Crowd Resilience (ICR)' competition to seek innovative ideas to reduce the threat from terrorist and malicious use of explosives and weapons in public spaces.

The capabilities and systems funded have been designed to be used in crowded places by private sector companies who operate and manage many of our public spaces and transport locations and DASA is looking to showcase suppliers' success from the ICR competition at the International Security Expo 2019.
