From a technical perspective progressing our mission requires that we both understand the technical challenge that we face and have appropriate technologies and techniques to deal with it. Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) is therefore an essential component of our programme, generating knowledge and developing new technologies and techniques.

The aims of this report are to:

  • build a dialogue around NDA’s research interests with experts in academia and industry, as well as our stakeholders such as academic institutions, and the National Academies
  • promote NDA’s research interests in a way that gives experts the opportunity to get involved in our RD&I activities
  • help foster a culture of using research and innovation within the NDA that sustains a continuous dialogue with the wider Research & Development (R&D) community
  • communicate NDA’s research interests to other government departments (OGDs) to foster cross government work around them
  • form the basis of our forward NDA RD&I portfolio.
