The objective of the Department of Defence is to research and develop emerging technologies for use by the military with the full establishment of the pre-existing Defence Research Administration to differentiate the Office of Field Development and the newly formed Office of Strategic Military Studies, activities of which will remain top secret and all knowledge is actively denied by the government. LOCATION Bunge, Gotland Coordinates 57.8499, 19.0348 FACILITIES The facility will fundamentally make use of an established World War II airfield which to public record remains under private ownership as it has done since 1991 when it was abandoned by the military.
