The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has showcased some of its new inventions as part of its Defence Technology Plan.

It is the first time the MoD has unveiled its long-term research needs and demonstrated new technology.

The products are still in their early stages, although it is hoped many will go into service in the next few years.

The MoD hopes to attract more future technology to address its combat needs.

The products unveiled were the first in a number of submissions chosen by the MoD for further development.

Included in the products for development is D30, a putty like goo that hardens on impact which they feel could be useful for body armour and helmets.
