Signal Processing in a Networked Battlespace

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) wish to support two (or possibly three) research consortia grants through this call for proposals, to address challenges within the area of signal processing in a networked battlespace. This will take place under the strategic partnership that already exists between EPSRC and Dstl.

Subject to the quality of the proposals received, funds of up to £8 million are available, which is expected to support two (or possibly three) consortia for up to five years.

The consortia will be expected to provide a balanced portfolio across the scope of this call. We will be looking for an interlinked suite of research work packages within each consortium to address a number of key themes in signal processing. The consortia supported through this call will be expected to work closely with Dstl staff over the course of the projects.

Successful projects must start by 01 April 2013. Please note that applications should only be made where a start date of 01 April 2013 can be met.

All work packages within each consortium should aim to start within six months of the start date.
