In 1946 the management of scientific research was reorganised by the establishment of four directorates under the generic title of the Royal Naval Scientific Service (RNSS): the Directorate of Physical Research (ADM 285), the Directorate of Aeronautical and Engineering Research (ADM 278, ADM 287, ADM 288), the Directorate of Operational Research (ADM 380), and the Directorate of Research Programmes and Planning.
The Directorate of Research Programmes and planning (DRPP) was responsible for the administration of scientific finance contracts not handled by the other directorates, patents, and technical records. In 1960 it became the Directorate of Research and Development Services.
