Our Mission

Experience has shown that, for many emerging technologies, a high payoff for UK Defence is best achieved by collaboration within the broader UK science and technology community. Such collaboration means better equipment for MOD, more competitive products for industry and more opportunity for academia to exploit its ideas. MOD therefore wishes to invite organisations and individuals with world-class expertise to join with it in the creation of Defence Technology Centres (DTCs). A DTC will be a formal collaborative arrangement between industry and academic experts in a particular technology, funded jointly by participants and the MOD. The participants will work together to generate and enhance the technology vital to the delivery of future UK Defence capabilities.
