UK Defence Innovation (UKDI), in partnership with the UK Space Agency and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), has announced the launch of its fourth themed competition, Space to Innovate: Delta Drop. The competition, funded by the UK Space Agency and Dstl, offers up to £985,000 for projects lasting up to 18 months and targeting Technology Readiness Levels 3 to 6. It consists of two stages, with stage‑one proposals due on 28 July 2026 and stage‑two submissions on 25 August 2026. The programme seeks innovations in three areas: enhancing space‑domain awareness and ISR coverage, developing self‑protecting space‑based platforms, and improving resilience to ground‑based electromagnetic threats. A launch webinar will be held on 8 July, followed by one‑to‑one teleconference sessions on 9 July. Proposals should be reviewed in the full competition document.
