Air and Weapons Systems
Provides analysis of systems on platforms and weapons systems that
use the aerial battlespace
Biomedical Sciences
Provides MOD with the science base for the development of effective
countermeasures for personnel against CB agents, blast, ballistics and
develops expedient surgical approaches.
Detection
Conducts the research and development of sensors and systems for the
detection of Chemical and Biological (CB) agents and explosives, along
with CB hazard assessment and consequence management.
Electronics
Dstl’s focus for electronic/signals-based corporate and applied
research. The department also provides direct operational support.
Energetics
Carries out all explosive, pyrotechnics and obscurant research and
development in Dstl.
Environmental Sciences
Provides the capability for MOD to manage, monitor and control its
environmental, chemical weapons demilitarisation and radiological hazards.
Information Management
Provides the Dstl focus for corporate and applied research, including
related project support activities in aid of UK information superiority,
planning and decision making.
Joint Systems
Leads Dstl’s work in support of MOD’s key crosscutting
capability-level programmes, working closely with other Dstl departments
and external organisations to provide integrated systems advice. Joint
Systems also provides a focus for the development of system engineering
capability and associated best practice within Dstl and wider MOD.
Knowledge and Information Services
Knowledge and Information Services is the focal point for MOD and defence industry
for the management, exploitation and access to defence science and technology
research information. Publications
& FOI
Land Battlespace Systems
Provides analysis and advice on land systems as well as providing Battlefield
Command and Control capabilities.
Naval Systems
Provides analysis and systems advice to the Ministry of Defence to enable the effective procurement and operation of Naval assets. This advice is focused on maintaining the military advantage of maritime platforms and equipments, both above and underwater. Specific advice is provided on the integration and effectiveness of weapon systems (lethal, non-lethal and deterrent), sensor systems and defensive applications (anti-ship missile, counter torpedo) and advice on maritime counter-terrorism.
Physical Sciences
Comprises the protection science, dispersion physics, material science
and armour physics elements of Dstl.
Policy and Capability Studies
Undertakes high-level operational analysis to support the MOD and
the UK government in its decision making process. The department also
embeds scientific teams in HQs and warfare centres as well as operational
areas. These teams support operations and exercises through the application
of analysis-based science and technology.
Sensors and countermeasures
Researches and develops a range of sensors for all platforms, as well
as studying signatures and working on countermeasures.
