The DRA was formed in April 1991 as an Amalgamation of the following Defence Research Establishments :
DRA's headquarters was created at the RAE site at Farnborough, but the other major sites maintained a great deal of independence. DRA's first Chief Executive was Nigel Hughes , followed by John Chisholm who took over in August 1991. In April 1995 the DRA combined with five other MOD establishments to form the Defence Evaluation And Research Agency ( DERA ), DRA's John Chisholm becoming Chief Executive of the enlarged DERA (split in July 2001 into DSTL and QinetiQ ). |
