Defence BattleLab

UK MOD (Dstl / DASA-linked)

About this opportunity

A place to trial and de-risk a dual-use system with UK military users. Not funding — validation and relationships in the UK ecosystem.

Defence BattleLab is a UK experimentation hub in Dorset where companies trial dual-use systems alongside military users, run by a partnership that includes Dstl, DASA, the single Services and Dorset local bodies. Access is earned rather than bought, so a Ukrainian firm usually needs a UK sponsor or footprint to book time and put a prototype in front of end users.

Eligibility
