Counter Terrorism Science & Technology Centre

Scientific and technical advice is vital for operations against the diverse and sophisticated terrorist capability faced by UK Armed Forces. To support this scientific effort, the MOD has established the Counter Terrorism Science and Technology Centre (CT Centre) to act as the hub for UK MOD research in this area.

The CT Centre will work with national and international partners across academia, industry and government. It provides funding and advice to support innovation, deliver rapid solutions and ensure that the best science underpins the MOD response to terrorist threats.

The Centre is funded by the MOD and based at Porton Down, to take advantage of the existing infrastructure and expertise at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). The CT Centre reports to the MOD Chief Scientific Adviser through an independent board.


Further information and how to contact the CT Centre is available on its website www.dstl.gov.uk/ct-centre.
