![]() ![]() There are 3 teams within DST, each lead by a deputy director: We are led by Dr Nicholas Joad, Director DST, who reports to the MOD Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Dame Angela McLean. We are a mixture of science, policy and commissioning specialists. We are a team of approximately 150 people based at 13 locations in the UK and a small number of staff in the USA and Australia. Our main stakeholders are predominantly the armed forces through the Front Line Commands (FLCs), senior decision makers within MOD HQ, Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) and other government departments with whom we collaborate on wider security issues. DST manages these relationships and works to identify new collaboration opportunities. Much of our research programme involves international collaboration with our close allies. In addition to commissioning this programme on behalf of the armed forces, DST supports MOD’s CSA in all S&T matters to inform MOD’s wider technology policy, strategy and decision making. This ensures the best Balance of Investment between strategic research and immediate user requirements, and proactive management of S&T Capability Health. MOD invests 1.2% of the defence budget in its Core Research Programme to develop and sustain cutting edge capabilities for the armed forces, drive innovation and reduce costs. A Defence Enterprise that maximises the impact of Science and Technology in order to give the UK advantage over our adversaries and counter current and future threats.
