Special Importance

Deactivated &/or sold off

Part of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency [DERA] as of July 1 2001, officially became known as QinetiQ [pronounced kinetic]. Many of the 80-plus laboratories, employing some 9,000 scientists, are now in the private sector. The UK's leading nuclear, biological and chemical defence research centre (germ warfare laboratories) is located at Porton Down, Wiltshire, now operating under what was left of DERA, which subsequently became known as Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). It has a 3,500-strong workforce and scientists have been deployed, for counter-terrorism reasons, in the UK a number of times in 2008. G-fs
