The event is being sponsored by Scottish Enterprise. The scope of this combined event is evident from the technical breadth of the research themes of these two £30m research programmes:

Systems Engineering for Autonomous Systems
- Systems Engineering Framework
- Systems Engineering Research
- Sensor Exploitation
- Algorithms & Architectures
- Mission Planning & Decision Making
- Communications & Control
- Propulsion, Power Generation & Energy Management
 
Electro-Magnetic Remote Sensing
- RF Sensor Systems
- Electro-Optic Sensor Systems
- Embedded Processing for Sensor Systems
- Devices & Materials for Sensor Systems

Over the last six years the DTC conference has grown to become the largest annual defence science conference in the UK - by delegate numbers, numbers of technical papers and by number of exhibitors. To quote one senior MOD official, "the DTC conference is the best networking event for the UK defence science community on the calendar".

The conferences should be attended by potential research providers and exploiters, as well as the the broad military and civil sensing & autonomous systems and systems engineering communities.
