Full-lifecycle engineering support for defence and security capabilities, from concept and design through integration, sustainment and optimisation. Covers systems engineering, software, electronics, mechanical design and human factors across defence platforms, with expertise spanning armoured vehicles, aircraft, and autonomous systems. Delivered through dedicated engineering programs including advanced facilities like Creator Space innovation facility, supporting complex capability generation with end-to-end design governance, detailed design coordination, and interface management across engineering disciplines.

Specialist operational support to enhance performance, resilience and decision-making — from strategic planning through to frontline environments. Designs, builds and supports intelligence systems across single and multi-data environments, enabling secure and trusted capability delivery as global defence postures shift. Delivers complex capability generation across C4ISTAR, CEMA and Human Machine Teaming through integrated requirements definition and systems architecture, supporting operational resilience and enabling rapid deployment in contested environments.

Advancing science and technology to shape future defence capabilities, driving innovation across autonomy, sensing, cyber and emerging technology domains. R&D is at the core of capability delivery, turning quantum technologies into operational capabilities across sensing, precise positioning and navigation (PNT), computing and communications. Includes development of next-generation GNSS-free navigation technologies and deployable eLoran satellite navigation alternatives, supported by £6 million MOD contract via Team Elaris. Spans the full R&D lifecycle from strategic planning through operations, requirements engineering, prototyping, validation, and simulation of digital engineering solutions.

World-class test and evaluation facilities, technologies and expertise to validate defence systems and prepare personnel for real-world operational conditions. Operates 16 land, maritime, air and weapons sites globally, including a 5m wind tunnel and one of the world's largest hydrodynamic facilities. Provides comprehensive testing across armoured vehicles, aircraft, and autonomous systems platforms, with laboratory operations, equipment calibration and upkeep, test environment readiness, and handover protocols to ensure systems meet operational requirements before deployment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Analytics and Advanced Computing are becoming increasingly important across all aspects of consumer and operational technology and services. We have specialist expertise in these technology areas, which we continue to invest in, and we work with an array of industry partners and academia to further the research, develop leading-edge solutions and services, and provide advice to our customers in these fields. We fuse our world-class understanding of science and engineering and our sector knowledge of Defence and Security to deliver market-leading solutions for our customers. Our Data Science experts work on a range of Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects using a variety of Machine Learning (ML) techniques to discover patterns in, analyse, classify and verify data. Natural Language Processing (NLP) This underpins our analysis of text which can also use Machine Learning techniques. We perform advanced analysis of text data for many of our customers, varying in the amount of structure and across different languages. Computer Vision This involves processing many types of imagery including different wavebands, still and video. We rely heavily on geometric and physics-based analysis, tied in with Machine Learning and statistical methods. Our experts are engaged on cutting-edge projects for customers, such as the Celestial Navigation project.

We have a long track record and deep expertise in these technology areas, across the electromagnetic spectrum, from DC to light. We continue to invest and develop our expertise, keeping at the forefront of immerging and disruptive technologies such as quantum. Working with a broad range of customers and partners spanning MOD, industry and academia, we provide research, concept assessment, product development, and test, evaluation and assurance services. Using our comprehensive understanding of sensing, processing and data fusion, coupled with expert system engineering, we provide the systems and advice to achieve exceptional operational advantage for our customers. For example, we designed and developed the ALARM radar specifically to provide sufficient warning of attacks from short-range low trajectory rockets. Developed from concept to fielded operational use in just 18 months the system has subsequently saved many lives.
