Army: Procurement

The strategic aim of this Government’s Defence Industrial Strategy is to make sure the imperatives of national security and a high-growth economy are aligned. This will include reviewing and reconfirming the areas where the UK needs to retain sovereign production capacities, as well as considering the areas of the defence sector which provide the greatest opportunities for UK comparative advantage and growth.

The Defence Industrial Strategy will both build on what previous strategies got right and go further. The global context is now significantly different, so we must reboot our Defence Industrial Strategy, grow our defence base at home and establish a new relationship with the broader national technology ecosystem.
