Vetronics

The Vetronics Research Centre (VRC) is the only Academic Centre of Excellence in the UK conducting research and training in the subject area of Vetronics (Vehicle Electronics), sponsored by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and supported by Defence Science Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S).

We focus on specialised and targeted research to investigate new technologies and methodologies that can be applied in the immediate and near future. Almost all of our research programmes include a functional demonstrator deliverable that can give a practical hands-on experience of the output. These systems are designed in a modular fashion to make them re-usable for an extension of the programme or even in other related applications, allowing us to keep re-development costs down and have access to an ever increasing set of testing environments.
