Transforming performance in defence and aerospace

Increasing global investment in defence across land, sea, air, cyber and space is driving innovation as nations seek to deliver capability that will provide resilient, scalable, cost-effective and sustainable competitive advantage to ensure societal prosperity.

Realising defence objectives in a complex project, programme and portfolio landscape requires the careful management of many moving parts and their interdependencies. Today’s mega-scale endeavours are often highly complex, having many interdependencies and requiring advanced capabilities. New digital solutions must be securely interwoven with assets in readiness to meet and outpace a potential adversary’s capability evolution cycle.
