About this report
QinetiQ Group plc is a leading British defence and security technology company, originally formed in 2001 from the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). As part of that reorganization, QinetiQ inherited the bulk of DERA’s non-nuclear research, test, and evaluation establishments – a foundation that established QinetiQ as a core industrial partner to the UK military.
It became a public-private entity in 2002 and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2006. Today QinetiQ is an integrated global defence and security company with a workforce of over 8,500 scientists, engineers, and personnel worldwide.
