Robots, not people, could respond to future hazardous incidents following our trial for @DefraGovUK. We tested the ability of robotic and autonomous systems to navigate through a building and detect, sample and clean a contaminated environment. tinyurl.com/npdu2m4j

We are supporting the long term resilience of the UK’s radar measurement capability - strengthening a vital national asset for defence and innovation Read the case study 👇 gov.uk/government/cas… #Dstl #Radar #DefenceScience #UKInnovation @ThalesUK @DefenceHQ

An important step forward in advancing our collaborative mission 👏 Proud to see this milestone reached and looking forward to what’s next as we continue building this together 🚀

Modern battlefields evolve fast. 🚁🛡️ Our latest trial with @BritishArmy shows how retrainable AI and autonomous drones can adapt to new explosive threats—supporting force protection and operational tempo. 🔗 shorturl.at/3fUND

We've successfully trialled AI-powered drone technology to identify landmines and explosive ordnance for @BritishArmy, detecting threats faster and keeping personnel safe from harm. @DefenceHQ @Proud_Sappers Read more: shorturl.at/3fUND

We've led a major trial on behalf of @BritishArmy which allowed bomb-disposal experts to conduct their mission faster through rapid detection. The trial demonstrated that AI models can be rapidly retrained to recognise new threat types and adapt to different environments.

Ever wondered how we test armour to protect UK forces? Our engineers assess systems against threats, strengthening protection and supporting NATO collaboration Watch the trial in action

Dstl and DARPA have trialled AI to help medics make faster, high‑stakes decisions on the battlefield. Using DARPA’s ITM programme, the team explored how aligning AI to human decision‑making could boost trust and improve triage. gov.uk/government/new…

Dstl, with help from QinetiQ, has developed EREBUS, a flight test capability for UK Defensive Aids Systems (DAS). This capability enables real world testing of DAS before they are integrated onto frontline aircraft. 🔗 Explore the full case study: gov.uk/government/cas…

Stone Soup! Dstl has created an open source framework to help standardise, test, and speed up new ideas in sensor fusion and tracking for today’s defence needs. gov.uk/government/cas… #sensorfusion #UniversityofLiverpool

🔥 Hotter than molten lava The UK has established its first sovereign manufacturing capability for ultrahigh temperature materials which are vital for space, hypersonic and propulsion systems 👉 gov.uk/government/new… #AdvancedMaterials #UKManufacturing

We’ve completed a trial accelerating the development of next generation atomic clocks, boosting secure and resilient timing for UK defence operations This trial strengthens the UK's innovation in quantum timing technology 🔗 gov.uk/government/new… #RoyalNavy #DefenceHQ

We're working with the EPSRC to fund vital defence research! Dstl’s partnership with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funds defence research such as using AI to help improve intelligence work. gov.uk/government/cas… #epsrc #defenceresearch #AI

Dstl has launched Creative Futures, a new sci‑fi collection imagining defence & security up to the year 2122. 🔗 gov.uk/government/new… #CreativeFutures #SciFiBooks #DefenceInnovation #ScienceFiction #BookLaunch
