Who do we work for?

Our customers are based within the UK Armed Forces, the MOD and Other Government Departments. If they face a project that needs sensitive science and technology expertise then Dstl can provide the necessary level of in-house advice.

From the military commander in the field, to those countering international terrorism, right up to policy decision makers, we can draw on our experience in all sectors to ensure that the best science and technology solutions are available to underpin the UK's defence and security capability.

MOD and UK Armed Forces

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 to provide you with effective and practical solutions.

Other Government Departments

Although three-quarters of our work is carried out on behalf of the MOD, we work for many Other Government Departments, including:

• Home Office
• HM Revenue & Customs
• Cabinet Office
• Department for Transport
• Department of Health and the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs

The facilities and staff at all our sites are available if the technology and the expertise gained through our defence research is required by any Other Government Department.
