A History of Defence Science at Salisbury

Summary A series of documentary works that look back at some of the activities and events carried out at the Defence establishment at Salisbury, South Australia. Built in the early 1940s as the Explosives Factory Salisbury, it came to prominence again as the Long Range Weapons Establishment (LRWE) which was opened in April 1947. The name changed to Weapons Research Establishment (WRE) in 1955, Defence Research Centre Salisbury (DRCS) in 1978, and Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) in 1987. It finally looks ahead to a major site rationalisation in 1997, after which DSTO Salisbury will be a much more compact site. The video also describes the close relationship between the defence research establishments at Woomera and Salisbury. View more details
