Defence Science and Technology Laboratory

About Us

MOD and UK Armed Forces


Most of our work is carried out on behalf of the MOD, where our science and technology skills are employed to help provide the UK Armed Forces with the best possible equipment and advice. We work with our customers on a diversity of defence projects, from helping define the next generation of military equipment to the more pressing demands placed on us by Urgent Operational Requests.

We serve all areas of the MOD, including operational commands, the various defence agencies and MOD Headquarters. This cross department work lets us provide truly integrated advice across a range of issues and throughout the project life. As an example, our in-theatre experience gained through supporting operations has been fed back into other ongoing defence projects, including our support to the procurement programme.

There are a number of military officers embedded within our project teams. They provide crucial insights into current military requirements and ensure that our solutions are appropriate to the modern battlefield’s needs.

The combination of these factors, coupled with our extensive scientific, technical and defence knowledge, enables us to put together a team of multi-disciplinary experts providing you with effective and practical solutions.
