Amalgamation Into DERA and Split Into QinetiQ and Dstl
Some of these establishments were merged in 1991 to form the Defence Research Agency (DRA). More were added to DRA in 1995 to form the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA).
DERA was split up in the early 2000s, with the major part becoming known as QinetiQ and the more sensitive parts retained as Dstl.

Famous quotes containing the word split:
“In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
