Summary

The Defence Research Centre Salisbury (DRCS) was established in 1978, when the Weapons Research Establishment was divided into four separate laboratories. These were the Electronics Laboratory, Weapons Systems Research Laboratory, Advanced Engineering Laboratory and Trials Resources Laboratory, collectively known as an administrative group as the Defence Research Centre. In July 1987 the Defence Research Centre became part of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation.
