Defence Science and Technology Laboratory

The Software Team, drawn from across Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) Divisions, has gone above and beyond to find new ways to deliver an increased number of more engaging wargames at lower cost by partnering with a UK software company. These tools leverage development in the industry, and funding from allies, and aid UK prosperity by improving the tools through Dstl expert input. They have delivered 50 analytical wargames, informing the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy, and have invested their own time in supporting the Army’s virtual education over the course of the pandemic.
