The Graduate Diploma Programme in Defence Technology and Systems (DDTS) aims to provide graduate-level education in Military Technology for military officers so that these officers are able to more effectively employ and optimize processes relating to military technology application in their course of work. Upon completing this course, these officers must be able to understand the underlying scientific principles of military technologies, the leverage provided in the operation of the systems/platforms within their individual Services, as well as explore the possibilities offered by emerging technologies which can enhance the forces' operational capabilities.  They must also be able to develop and analyze technological solution to operational problems based on a total system approach.
