We’re working with global technology giant Microsoft to advance the application of cloud computing technology in the defence and national security sector.
Together our Combat Systems team and Microsoft are developing and delivering the next generation of maritime defence technology; looking at how this would work and how it can help our defence customers.
Our shared focus is co-innovation and co-engineering. Joint teams have been formed to combine Microsoft’s unrivaled breadth of technical expertise with our Combat Systems team’s decades of Naval Mission Systems domain knowledge.
