Defence Science and Technology Laboratory

A Dstl project has revolutionised training delivery across the Royal Air Force, strengthening Britain’s air combat capability and operational readiness.

Rivelin Robotics, supported by Dstl expertise, has created microfactory technology that automates the slow, risky manual finishing of 3D printed parts.

Commanders will better coordinate surveillance, targeting and weapons across platforms and uncrewed systems.

Robots, not people, could respond to future high-risk incidents following the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory’s recent testing.

Knowing how easily our platforms can be detected by radar is vital for keeping them safe and spotting any weaknesses.
