Electronic Warfare and Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement

The pace of technological innovation and development of uncrewed aerial systems means the threat is in a state of constant change. To keep pace with this rapid evolution of the threat, counter drone capability needs to focus on spiral development, flexibility and modularity, rather than on specific milestones for capability development. Within the UK, there is a thriving drones and autonomous systems ecosystem which enables our ability to meet the changing threat. There are a wide range of Electromagnetic Warfare capabilities in the current and planned force, across all domains. We do not release details of in service dates for individual capabilities and where it would compromise operational security to do.
