We combine world-recognised expertise in gun technology across a range of applications from small arms through to large calibre artillery systems. Our capability provides research, consultancy, and a range of educational courses in weapon technology and their design and dynamics including their integration.
We have gained an international reputation for our work in the fundamental areas of weapons and vehicle design. Meeting challenges from both military and civilian organisations, we apply our knowledge and expertise at the limits of current physical, engineering and technological capability to provide solutions to a broad range of problems.
Our research is highly regarded internationally and our academics are called upon to undertake progressive research projects and to provide impartial, expert advice on their subjects. Our approach to research and consultancy projects is flexible. While our main areas of research are defence and security, we often apply our knowledge to other sectors or to bring together multidisciplinary teams combining the skills of a number of academic areas.
Our research influences and informs the global defence and security sector. Forged through a distinctive blend of expertise, experience and facilities, we are leaders in defence and security research.
