Defence Science and Technology Laboratory

About Us

Commercial Work


Dstl does not engage in work that can be done outside Government and therefore does not compete for business with Industry, nor do we undertake commercial work unless specifically tasked by the MOD.

In cases where our work has potential for exploitation for the benefit of the nation, our intellectual property is handled by Ploughshare Innovations Limited, our technology transfer company. This leaves our experts free to concentrate on providing solutions to sensitive science and technology problems within Government. We can, however, advise MOD when issuing commercial contracts to ensure that industry are focusing on the real issues and remain on-track throughout the project.
