Overview
Advanced materials, their processing and manufacturing are vital to Defence and Security Applications and are substantial contributors to the prosperity of the UK.

It is bringing together world-leading researchers from Dstl, industry, research technology organisations and academia to develop the next generation of advanced materials systems for the Defence of the UK.
