The Research Foundation

An integral part of General Dynamics UK, the Research Foundation exists to foster understanding of the evolving nature of warfare, with particular emphasis on command and battlespace management.

The Research Foundation sponsors periodic conferences under the Whither Warfare banner to promote debate of topical issues. These conferences attract defence policy makers and acknowledged experts from academia to present their views and to participate in discussion with an audience drawn from across the defence community. General Dynamics UK employees are encouraged to attend as part of their broader education.

Part of the Research Foundation’s role is to promote understanding of defence issues amongst General Dynamics UK employees relevant to their business. The intranet library provides access to current doctrine publications from UK, the US and NATO.
