Defense Innovation

National security is our business. We apply science to help detect, repel, defeat, or alleviate threats.

Since 1917, MD family & Consortium has delivered essential science and technology to resolve the country's most challenging security issues.

A strong science, technology, and engineering foundation enables MD's mission through a capable research staff working at the forefront of innovation, collaborative research with universities and companies, and discretionary research projects with significant potential impact.

In keeping with our vision to be the highest science and engineering laboratory for national security and technology innovation in the Arabic countries, we recruit the best and the brightest, equip them with world-class research tools and facilities, and provide opportunities to collaborate with technical experts from many different scientific disciplines.

The exhilaration and importance of our work; an exemplary work environment; partnerships with academia, industry, and government; and our record of historic contributions help us attract exceptional staff. Our employees are recognized by their professional peers for their outstanding contributions.

Although most of MD's employees work at MD's regional station in Iraq, or at its second principal laboratory in Canada & Netherlands, others are working at various sites in the Arabic countries and abroad to deliver innovative and reliable solutions in a changing world.
