An important step forward in advancing our collaborative mission 👏 Proud to see this milestone reached and looking forward to what’s next as we continue building this together 🚀

[Astroscale UK & Europe @Astroscale_UK]

Proud to mark a key milestone for @dstlmod's #Orpheus with its recent design review completed and the release of the new mission patch. The two formation‑flying satellites will gather vital space‑weather & ionospheric data for the UK. Read the full news story here: https://t.co/rM5g0KmROE

[Dstl @dstlmod]

We've led a major trial on behalf of @BritishArmy which allowed bomb-disposal experts to conduct their mission faster through rapid detection. The trial demonstrated that AI models can be rapidly retrained to recognise new threat types and adapt to different environments.

[Dstl @dstlmod]

Ever wondered how we test armour to protect UK forces?

Our engineers assess systems against threats, strengthening protection and supporting NATO collaboration

Watch the trial in action

[Dstl @dstlmod]

Dstl and DARPA have trialled AI to help medics make faster, high‑stakes decisions on the battlefield. Using DARPA’s ITM programme, the team explored how aligning AI to human decision‑making could boost trust and improve triage. https://t.co/e4oAdADJXW

[Dstl @dstlmod]

Dstl, with help from QinetiQ, has developed EREBUS, a flight test capability for UK Defensive Aids Systems (DAS). This capability enables real world testing of DAS before they are integrated onto frontline aircraft.
