Defence

Accelerating defence capability and asymmetric advantage, globally informed, locally delivered.

Operating domains

One disciplined path across every operating domain.

Air

01 · Airworthiness and Integration

Air

What we doWe help military aviation programsprogrammes prove they are safe to fly and fit to fight. We work across airworthiness and system safety, support systems engineering and weapon and payload integration, and sustain aircraft, uncrewed air systems and flight-training devices through life. We also guide military type certification and train the authorities who assure it.

Land

02 · Acquisition to Sustainment

Land

What we doWe support the organisations building and sustaining army vehicles and land systems, from acquisition through to in-service life. Our teams recover and deliver production programsprogrammes, engineer the logistics and support behind them, and certify, test and verify equipment so it stays safe and performs in the hands of the people who rely on it.

Maritime

03 · Naval Platforms and Assurance

Maritime

What we doWe help defence organisations design, integrate and sustain naval platforms and combat systems. Our engineers bring system safety and integrated logistic support to amphibious and surface-fleet sustainment, modernise maritime satellite communications, and certify uncrewed surface vessels and autonomy, so new capability reaches the fleet with the assurance it needs.

Cyber Security

04 · Assured and Accredited

Cyber Security

What we doWe integrate and assure defence networks and systems, running the test and cyber assurance that proves they are safe and secure. We manage security accreditation across classified and export-controlled environments, and we build software and electrical safety into the communications and network programsprogrammes that keep forces connected.

Space

05 · Satellite Systems

Space

What we doWe modernise and assure the satellite communications that keep deployed forces connected, bringing systems engineering and safety assurance to space-enabled capability. We do not build or operate the platforms. We de-risk them, so the links hold under pressure and the capability reaches the field ready to use.

Missile eject launchers for F-35 and Tempest

What we didWe established and led a multidisciplinary integrated project team to design and deliver the SPEAR 3 Pneumatic Missile Eject Launcher for the F-35. We also led the engineering and programsprogrammes team for the Meteor launcher on Tempest, taking the programprogramme from SRR through CDR.

First launcher batch delivered to support SPEAR 3 integration, verification and validation.
Confident progression enabled for the broader MoD F-35 programprogramme.
Formal strategic supplier status secured on the Tempest Global Combat Air ProgramProgramme.

A step change in Hawkei delivery performance for Thales

What we didWe lifted Hawkei delivery performance for Thales by tackling the programmatic issues blocking throughput. We reclassified rectification categories, removed a dysfunctional database and eliminated non-value reporting, clearing the noise and restoring decision speed. These changes stabilised engineering flow and enabled faster, more predictable production decisions.

Vehicle tag time reduced and engineering throughput stabilised.
Production ramped up with confidence, backed by faster decisions.
Delivery posture strengthened through streamlined workflows and clearer priorities.
