	Dstl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is an Executive Agency of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD).
		Its stated vision is "to be the indispensable source of science and technology at the heart of defence".
		Dstl was established to carry out science and technology work that is best done within government, while the rest was transferred to the part-privatised QinetiQ.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: DSTL
		Dstl - the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, is the centre of scientific excellence for the UK Ministry of Defence, housing one of the largest groups of scientists and engineers in public service in the country.
		Dstl does provide its services to other Government Departments, recently giving impartial advice to the Department of Transport on specialised X-ray machines, which are now widely deployed to screen baggage at airports for explosive devices and arms.
		Dstl will therefore continue to be a key part of the UK's public services with our teams of analysts, scientists and engineers able to offer the highest standards of reliability with a pool of trusted scientific and technical expertise.

	News Item: DERA becomes DSTL and Qinetiq
		The Strategic Defence Review in 1998 that identified fact that DERA had a role to play in the evolving economy in both defence and civil sectors.
		This combined with the fact that defence spending was on the decline meant that accepting capital injections from the private sector was a necessity for survival and lead to the birth of The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and Qinetiq Ltd, while the parent organisation DERA has dissolved.
		DSTL retains 25% of what used to be DERA and employs some 3000 people, including one of the largest groups of scientists and engineers in the public service and supports defence and wider government.

	New Age Electric Armour - Tough enough to face modern threats - Armed Forces International
		To combat this very real and dangerous threat the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, Dstl, has developed an 'Electric Armour' that reduces the effect of impacts by such projectiles to almost zero, and will ultimately save the lives of soldiers.
		Dstl scientists have developed a revolutionary Electric Armour system which can resist attack by RPGs or other shaped charge weapons whilst remaining of a practical weight and size for armoured vehicles to carry.
		Dstl scientists have recently demonstrated an armoured troop carrier protected by Electric Armour, in which, when danger threatens, an outer skin of metal plates can rapidly be electrified to several thousand volts.
