UK's Dstl launches cyber competition
The Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) of the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has launched a competition related to cyber analysis, it was announced on 26 June.
The Dstl is looking to UK industry for new ways to analyse cyberspace and help military commanders understand the potential impact that it may have on military situations. To this end, the CDE's new competition is open to academia and industry personnel to find and present new ways for the MoD to interact, understand and predict outcomes in cyberspace.
The competition will particularly look at ways to visualise data, possibly through virtual data manipulation or augmented reality, and automated techniques and user interfaces for analysis. Proposals will be sought presenting how cyber information, analysis and intelligence can support military decision making and how the techniques will present cyber activity in context.
The competition will take place over two phases, with £1 million in funding available. Bidders successful in the first phase can bid for the second phase of funding.
