Technicolour
breakthrough reveals hidden threats
Dstl scientists are in the early stages of devising an innovative
colourless spray which reacts to chemical warfare agents by changing
colour, clearly identifying surfaces which have been contaminated. |

The
Protectors
The work of the Chemical Technologies Team (CTT), which is part
of the Environmental Technologies Group, focuses on the environmental
impact brought about by Dstl/MOD activities or legacy issues. |

Dstl's
unsung heroes
The conflict in Iraq was the biggest deployment of scientists to
the field since the second world war. Dstl's staff were a major
constituent of that effort and continue to be an essential part
of the ongoing Operation Telic. |

The Experimentation
station
The Applied Research Technical Demonstrator (ARTD) is rapidly becoming
one of the biggest and brightest jewels in the Dstl crown. |
|
Faster,
harder, stronger
A Dstl team has supported the MOD in seeking approval for the first
phase of development of the Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) -
a family of vehicles that will become the back bone of the British
Army after 2010 and introduce radical new technologies to the battlefield.

Operation
Telic – the mobilisation of Dstl
Operation Telic – the name given to the 2003 mobilisation
to the Gulf by British Forces – constituted one of the biggest
deployments by UK services in recent history. And it was a conflict
where Dstl played a vital role. |
|
Second
skin
Plasma polymerisation could eventually revolutionise the textiles
industry and Dstl is at the forefront of research into its surprising
qualities. |
|
No
escape
Dstl designers have developed powerful and sophisticated computer
software that can test air-to-air missiles from the drawing board
stage to combat. |
