In 2005, the Rocketdyne Division was sold to United Technologies Corporation, becoming Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne as part of Pratt & Whitney. In 2013, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne was sold to GenCorp, which merged it with Aerojet to form Aerojet Rocketdyne.

The Wright Air Development Center was a part of the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), a defunct division of the US Airforce that was formed in 1961 to design, develop and produce aerospace weapon systems and capabilities for the U.S. Air Force and its allies. The ASC was deactivated as of July 2012.

The MRC National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) was founded in 1914 as a research centre in London for the newly established Medical Research Council. Premises at Hampstead were acquired but the outbreak of war in 1914 postponed occupation of the building, although senior staff were appointed and began work. The Hampstead premises, at Mount Vernon Hospital, were occupied in 1920, and the institute subsequently moved to its current location at Mill Hill in 1950. Scientists at NIMR have made major and seminal contributions in biomedical science, and include five Nobel Laureates. NIMR became part of the Crick in April 2015.

The Royal Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine was a Royal Air Force aviation medicine research unit active between 1945 and 1994. It was first located at Farnborough Airfield in Hampshire, and was successor to the wartime RAF Physiological Laboratory. The Institute conducted theoretical and applied reseach in support of flying personnel with divisions for acceleration, altitude, biochemistry, biophysics, personal equipment and teaching. The IAM obtained a decompression chamber (moved from the Physiological Laboratory) in 1945, supplemented by a climatic chamber in 1952, and a human centrifuge in 1955 (the latter facility is still in operation and was designated a Grade 2 Listed Building in August 2007). Additionally, the Institute was responsible for a number of mobile decompression chambers and the training of operators for chambers deployed at certain RAF operational stations with the object of familiarising flying personnel with the effects of annoxia at operational altitudes. The IAM became a world leading centre for aviation medicine research in the 1960s and 1970s, gaining additional facilities, and continuing an active flight research programme that commenced in World War II. Research into protection against the effects of high altitude, high G force, heat and cold stress, noise and vibration, sleep and wakefulness, spatial disorientation, vision, aviation psychology and human error, and aircraft accident investigation dominated activities at the IAM. Much work was done to develop and improve aircrew life support equipment. The IAM ceased to exist in 1994, when many research staff and facilities were transferred to the DERA Centre for Human Sciences.

John Billingham was born on 18 March 1930 in Worcester, and after earning a degree in physiology at Oxford University, he started clinical studies at Guy’s Hospital in London, qualifying in 1954. He also attended meetings of the British Interplanetary Society. In 1956 Billingham joined the Royal Air Force as a medical officer, training as a surgeon and rising to the rank of squadron leader. His research at the Royal Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine in Farnborough was particularly focused on climatic physiology, and included the impact of heat stress on pilots. In 1963 Billingham joined NASA after being headhunted from the Institute becoming the head of environment physiology at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. He was hired to improve space suit design, with an early project being to develop water cooled underwear which the RAF Insitute had already been long working on. In 1965 Billingham moved to Ames Research Center, where he led the first comprehensive study on a permanent lunar laboratory. He was eventually named chief of the Life Sciences division. He supported the search for intelligent and microbial extraterrestrial life with a major programme including workshops, research, papers, and a major conference in 1979 later published as a book, Life in the Universe.

Sir Alan Sterling Parkes was an influential figure in the field of reproductive biology in the 20th century, with contributions to the field of reproductive endocrinology in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s. Along with Christopher Parkes and Audrey Smith, Parkes worked at the National Institute for Medical Research during the 1950s where they jointly discovered the use of glycerol to protect against damage during the freezing and storage of animal sperm. This led to a worldwide revolution in artificial insemination in cattle, and created a new branch of biological science, known as 'cyrobiology'. He went on to study the influence of pheromones on mammalian reproduction, working with wild animals at the Nuffield Unit of Tropical Animal Ecology in Uganda. After retirement from the academic field, he became a consultant in the conservation and captive breeding of green sea turtles in the Cayman Islands.

Audrey Ursula Smith was a British cryobiologist, who discovered the use of glycerol to protect human red blood cells during freezing. In 1935, she graduated from King's College, London with a first class honours BSc in general science, and in 1936, with a BSc from Bedford College for Women in physiology. Smith was house physician at King's College Hospital, in 1942, and clinical pathologist from 1943 to 1944. She was a pathologist at Epsom public health clinic from 1944 to 1945, and for the Nottingham Emergency Public Health Laboratory Service from 1945 to 1946. From 1946 to 1970, she was a researcher at the National Institute for Medical Research in Mill Hill, London. During her work here with Sir Alan Parkes and Christopher Polge, she discovered the first practical cryoprotectant molecule. In 1969, Smith was a joint winner with Polge and Parkes of the John Scott Award of the city of Philadelphia for their method of low temperature preservation of living cells and tissues. Audrey Smith was awarded the Kamerlingh Onnes medal in 1973. From 1970 to 1981, she was on the staff of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital at Stanmore.

Part of the Royal Netherlands Airforce, the National Aeromedical Centre is now known as the Center for Man in Aviation and is responsible for the physical and mental training of military flight personnel. Located in Soesterberg, Netherlands.

Worked for the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine.

The Research Institute of National defence also known as the National Defence Research Institute (FOA) was established in 1945, and took over operations at the Armed Forces Chemical Institute (Försvarsväsendets kemiska anstalt, FKA), the Institute of Military Physics (Militärfysiska institutet, MFI) and the Swedish Board of Inventions telecommunications technical working group (Statens uppfinnarnämnds teletekniska arbetsgrupp, SUN). The FOA was organized in three research departments, FOA 1 chemistry/medicine, FOA 2 general physics and FOA 3 telecommunications and an office. In 1959 FOA 4 (nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry) was added. A special institution for operations analysis, planning and investigation FOA P, was added in 1958 and was renamed the planning agency in 1962. In 1958 the office was reorganized into the administrative bureau. In 1962, an institution for materials research was added and in 1965 the Defence Telecommunications Technology Laboratory (Försvarets teletekniska laboratorium) was separated from the FOA 3 as a separate unit. A major reorganization occurred on 1 July 1974. After this the FOA was organized in a central office, which accounted for among other thing the projections, management, staffing and education issues, and five main departments, FOA 1-5: FOA 1: armed forces studies, environmental and social studies, security policy and operations analysis and systems analysis FOA 2: general physics, nuclear device technology, EDP, material research, protection technology, etc. FOA 3: optics, electronics, acoustics, radar and signals intelligence FOA 4: biochemistry, microbiology, chemistry and radiac FOA 5: behavioral sciences, biotechnology and medicine The central office was divided in 1976 into three parts: central planning, administrative bureau and staff administrative bureau. These were later reorganized into two: the Planning and development unit and the management unit. Together with the National Aeronautical Research Institute (FFA) the new agency Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) was established on 1 January 2001.
