    Brief

    UK organisations are invited to apply for funding (share of £900,000) to demonstrate and evaluate affordable counter-drone technologies in prison facilities. The project focuses on systems that can effectively detect and track unauthorised drones within the UK prison estate. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to test their solutions in real prison environments, providing valuable evidence of technology performance and operational effectiveness. This is an ideal opportunity for suppliers of security technology, engineering firms, and defence contractors to showcase low-cost UAS detection and tracking solutions.
