UK Opens £1 Million Competition for Public-Space Toxic-Gas Detection
UK Defence Innovation has opened a two-stage competition, on behalf of the Home Office and National Protective Security Authority, for toxic-gas detection systems designed for busy public spaces. At least £1 million excluding VAT is available for prototype development and demonstration; systems must alarm within 30 seconds, start at TRL 4 or higher, and show a credible path to at least TRL 6.
