History

[edit]

The Admiralty Gunnery Establishment (AGE) was originally formed as the Fire Control Group of theAdmiralty Research Laboratory (ARL) atTeddington,Middlesex, England.[2] The name "fire control" in Naval terminology is always applied to the control of gunfire. It was established as a separate establishment in 1943 under the control of theDirector of Naval Ordnance.[3] The AGE assumed responsibility for both Army and Navy fire control work . It remained at Teddington until 1954 when it moved to a new site onPortland Bill with new buildings and test facilities. In 1959 the Admiralty Gunnery Establishment and most of its functions were amalgamated with theAdmiralty Signals and Radar Establishment (ASRE) to form the Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment (ASWE)[4] that was located atPortsdown Hill the remaining functions were transferred to theArmament Research and Development (ARDE) based atFort Halstead, theNorth Downs.

The establishment was administered by the Superintendent Admiralty Gunnery Establishment.[5]
