<br /><br /><p>Ministry of Defence (MOD) research and development expenditure is published
in "Departmental Resources Statistical bulletin" (Excel Table 5), which
is available at the following website:</p><br /><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/defence-departmental-resources-2015</p><br
/><p>There is no fixed forward budget for research and development because development
expenditure is mostly part of the equipment programme applied as needed against the
development requirements of individual projects. The government will dedicate 1.2%
of its growing Defence budget to the Defence Science and Technology Programme, the
centralised research budget, under the Department's Chief Scientific Adviser.</p>
