**NRAGE**

NRAGE, or the National Research and Engineering Agency, is a research and development organization established in 1997 to support the defense and aerospace industries in the United Kingdom. It operates under the umbrella of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and is part of the wider UK defence research ecosystem, collaborating closely with universities, industry partners, and other government agencies.

NRAGE focuses on delivering innovative solutions across various domains, including advanced materials, propulsion systems, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems. Its work often involves applied research, technology development, and prototyping to address complex challenges faced by the UK’s defence and aerospace sectors. The agency operates through its headquarters in Farnborough, Hampshire, and has a presence in other key locations, including the UK’s aerospace hubs.

One of NRAGE’s key strengths is its ability to bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical implementation, ensuring that findings are translated into actionable technologies. The organization also plays a role in fostering partnerships, encouraging collaboration between academia and industry to drive technological advancement. NRAGE’s projects are often funded through government contracts and public-private initiatives, with a focus on ensuring national security and economic competitiveness.

In addition to its core research activities, NRAGE provides technical expertise, consultancy services, and support to the MoD and other stakeholders. It is committed to maintaining high standards of integrity, innovation, and ethical conduct in all its endeavours. While NRAGE does not conduct military operations itself, its work directly supports the UK’s defence capabilities by advancing the technologies and systems required for modern warfare and national security.
