Ministry of Defence
The Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) in conjunction with the MOD Armour and Protection Science & Technology Centre is seeking applications that deliver novel and innovative amour solutions for the battlefield.
The threat from a determined and inventive enemy is constantly evolving and changing, therefore the Armour and Protection needed to keep UK Armed Forces safe must keep ahead of the threat with both short-term and long-term developments. Novel physical and active protection systems are sought that are mass and volume efficient and capable of countering rapidly evolving threats, primarily IEDs, mines, top attack weapons and small arms.
The competition will launch at a seminar at Wetherby Racecourse, Yorkshire on 28th October 2010. The event will also provide the opportunity to question world leading military and technical experts from the centre and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
