Dstl hosts Artificial Intelligence platform recognition trial to build datasets and validate algorithms. Artificial Intelligence (AI) for defence applications could be developed more quickly due to an innovative defence community-based approach to trial hosted by The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). Over time this could increase weapon capability and reduce development ...


More than 25 scientists and engineers from Dstl worked with UK allies testing a range of advanced innovative systems as part of Project Convergence 2022. Project Convergence 2022 (PC22) has involved several thousand US, UK and Australian members of the Armed Forces, including around 500 British Army personnel. It is the premier US Army experimentation exercise and ...


The MOD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has hosted the UK’s first high-powered, long range laser directed energy weapon (LDEW) trial on its ranges at Porton Down. The trials involve firing the UK DragonFire demonstrator at a number of targets over a number of ranges, demanding pinpoint accuracy from the beam director. These tests improve ...


The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has launched an Innovation Focus Area (IFA) called Making Science Fiction a Reality: Future Directed Energy Weapons. This IFA is seeking innovations that will help contribute to the development of the first generation of deployed Directed Energy Weapons across Land, Sea and Air domains. This IFA is run on behalf of the Defence Science ...
