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 opportunityy for academia to exploit its ideas.
MOD has therefore formed collaborative consortia with world-class expertise, to join with it in the creation of Defence Technology Centres (DTCs). There are currently four DTCs, funded jointly by participants and the MOD. The participants work together to generate and enhance the technology vital to the delivery of future UK Defence cababilities.
Defence Technology Centres:
- World-class centres of excellence conducting innovative, cutting edge research for enhanced UK Defence capability
- Aim to facilitate earliest exploitation of novel defence technology, with programmes defined by participants in collaboration with MOD
- Are part funded by MOD with significant contributions from participants
- Provide a forum for industrial and academic collaboration with Government
- Provide a source of expertise on defence science and technology
- Work within a formal contractual framework that facilitates collaboration
