This pause is while CDE transitions into the early operating capability of the new Defence and Security Accelerator - announced by Secretary of State for Defence, Sir Michael Fallon, on 16 September 2016 as part of the defence innovation initiative.
The new Accelerator will focus on exploiting novel solutions, and were taking the opportunity to reshape the enduring competition to meet this. The competition will re-launch in early 2017.
