The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) is an Agency of the
Ministry of Defence (MOD) of the United Kingdom and incorporates the bulk of
the MOD's non-nuclear research, technology and test and evaluation
establishments. DERA () is one of Europe's largest
single research organizations. Among its 12,000 staff DERA employs many
leading scientists and internationally acclaimed experts. It offers a unique
range of services, from the highest level of operational studies and
analysis, through the various categories of basic and applied research, to
consultancy advice on the procurement process and the test and evaluation of
specific equipment in both the development phase and during actual
operations. DERA's test facilities include indoor and outdoor ranges for
weapon effectiveness trials, underwater target ranges and marine testing
facilities, automotive test tracks, wind tunnels and climatic testing
laboratories. DERA's pioneering research and development this century
includes the invention of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), carbon fibre, the
technology for flat panel speakers, infra-red sensors and microwave radar,
as well as Chobham armor, and shaped charges. DERA has combined and
inherited the technology and expertise from Government defence research
sites throughout the United Kingdom.
