About this report
It is historically well established that strategic imperatives accelerate the development of technologies which later become the backbone of civilian industries. The demands of military programmes, with their requirement for reliability, scale and resilience under extreme conditions, have repeatedly acted as catalysts for innovation.
Systems such as the Internet, GPS, microprocessors and advanced telecommunications were first conceived and tested within defence or space projects, only to be transformed, in subsequent decades, into infrastructures and products of everyday life.
