Defence Evaluation and Research Agency
 PROFILE
Defence Evaluation and Research Agency's (DERA) stock-in-trade ranges from world-class secret weapons to medical breakthroughs. An agency of the UK's Ministry of Defence, DERA runs Britain's defense research laboratories, and is the largest science and technology organization in Western Europe. Its inventions include liquid crystal displays, carbon fiber, and the technology behind flat panel speakers. The UK's controversial decision to privatize 75% of DERA means the agency can apply its expertise to a wider range of commercial markets. It also cleared the way for a unique set of high-tech interests to be floated as soon as late 2001. The British government will retain the most sensitive parts of DERA's operations.
