#  MOD calls for ideas on IED detection

 Written by DSTL on 20 August 2012.

The MOD’s Defense Science and Technology laboratory (Dstl) are currently accepting applications to work with them, and potentially participate in a series of IED detection demonstration days which take place between 3 September 2012 and 31 January 2013.
Dstl officials say they are interested in concepts at 'a very early stage of development, through to those to the prototype stage’.
Selected submissions will then work with Dstl and military subject matter experts and propose scenarios suited to the technology of their proposed detection solution.
