Dstl demos contribution to air power

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) recently hosted an Air Systems Showcase demonstrating the impact of its research portfolio across UK military aviation.

Featuring a keynote address from Air Vice-Marshal Linc Taylor, Chief of Staff for Capability (Air), the Showcase brought together stakeholders including senior RAF leaders, Army and Royal Navy aviation specialists, industry representatives and Dstl scientists.

The event highlighted Dstl’s achievements and future plans over the five themes within Dstl’s Air Systems programme:

  • air operational analysis and decision support
  • air manoeuvre, maritime aviation, and air mobility (future aviation concepts; aviation in contested environments; support to Apache, Chinook, New Medium Helicopter)
  • air information and enablers (air information advantage; counter-uncrewed air systems; aircrew systems research)
  • combat air (support to Typhoon and F-35; future combat air systems (FCAS); CUTLASS air combat simulator; concepts and technologies; freedom of access and manoeuvre)
  • air survivability (concepts, technologies, and analysis; air platform protection)

In addition to speaker presentations, military stakeholders had the chance to meet Dstl and industry representatives as well as viewing and experiencing some of the technology on display. The day also provided the opportunity to explore how Dstl and its industry partners could deepen their collaboration with military customers.

Air Vice-Marshal Linc Taylor said: "When we bring scientific, technical and engineering advice alongside the experience of the war fighter about how we are going to employ either the analysis, the techniques or the technologies behind them, that synergy is far better than just the two organisations operating alone.

"Dstl brings a unique insight. It brings decision-quality evidence and world-class technology."
