Eurofighter Typhoon has always been a big part of Matt Cunniffe's working life.

Experts take a close look at the rise of AI-generated threats; neuromorphic and quantum computing; situational awareness in multi-domain environments; CEMA dominance across the connected battlespace and the role of space-derived intelligence

According to our 2023 global study of 400 defence and aerospace leaders, 95% agree that ongoing digitalisation has led to a more dynamic and complex battlespace.

With critical infrastructure a high value global target for today's threat actors, it has never been more important to take control of your cyber resilience

Senior IT and business decision makers working in aerospace or defence across Australia talk to us about the evolving battlespace and Multi-Domain Integration.

Elizabeth Seward speaks to Annelies Look, Deputy CEO and Chief Delivery Officer of the UK Space Agency, about the evolution of the UK space sector and how we as an ecosystem can continue driving progress

With many child sexual abuse offences taking place online, the ability to track down offenders, materials and sites has typically been a reactive and distressing task for civil servants. BAE Systems’ three-pronged automated solution developed for the customer's SeaCAT project is reducing analyst exposure, while forming a more proactive defence against would-be offenders

We compare the latest thinking from the AUKUS nations on cyber issues, focussing on the Australian Government's key challenges and priorties.

Kinetic warfare headlines have understandably dominated in recent years. But the future battlespace will be shaped by a threat that – for the most part – remains unseen.

For over 25 years BAE Systems has proudly supported the ships and people of the Royal Navy. Whether from the ships’ homeport in Portsmouth Naval Base, or whilst operating overseas, our specialist engineers provide round the clock support to over 70% of the Navy’s surface fleet; including the nation’s two aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, minehunters and offshore patrol vessels.

In today's complex and dynamic threat landscape, our cyber capacity building services are designed to help nations realise their cyber goals in the most efficient and safest way possible

A National Cyber Security Centre strengthened its security posture, expanding operations and implementing a new strategy to fortify its critical national infrastructure and keep citizens safe

To help achieve its 2030 digital vision, the Royal Navy implemented its first government-owned platform to consolidate data across its Queen Elizabeth aircraft carriers and warships, giving personnel access to the right information at the right time.

Former UK Cyber Security Ambassador Juliette Wilcox CMG discusses her experiences in the role – from the challenges she faced to key learnings and proudest moments

Modern defence requires innovation, information and collaboration. The first two boxes are largely being ticked, but how can we support a more connected ecosystem?

A Defence department centralised its frigate data to make information more accessible, transparent and easy to control – helping decision-makers ensure complex assets are always mission-ready.

On 14 August 1974, the airfield in Manching, Germany was the scene of aviation history - the first flight of one of the world's most successful combat aircraft, Tornado.

Our quantum team took part in the world’s first flight carrying a stable Bose Einstein Condensate – the fifth state of matter. This could soon be used to provide unjammable navigation, as a powerful alternative to easily-spoofed GPS. We are supporting the SME at the heart of the innovation, Infleqtion, to turn a lab-based physics experiment into a robust piece of equipment, able to continue working in the very different environmentof an aircraft in flight.

Coordinated action has been at the heart of military operations for centuries, but even though technology has changed considerably, this process still often relies on text or verbal communication to share information.

How are AI technologies changing the election process and what risks could AI present to political campaigns in the 2024 elections?

Digital transformation is affecting most industries and policing is no different. But where is policing innovation taking place and which technologies are most prevalent?

We speak to Colonel Richard Alston about digital transformation in defence, the future of recruitment in the industry, and the need to provide new pathways for digital talent

Our new paper discusses how improved management of defence assets through integrated technologies can be enabled by a Multi-Domain Integration (MDI) model.

We compare the latest thinking from the AUKUS nations on cyber issues to identify common themes and priorities based on their respective cyber strategies.

There are several reasons why asset management should be seen as a priority for Defence leaders. However, various data and process challenges are causing problems...

Our Global Head of DE&I Theresa Palmer speaks to Sonia Blandford about growing up in Feltham, her education journey, and the need to change how we tackle social mobility

We have proudly supported the Ulysses Trust since 2015, with our contributions they have helped more than 6,200 young people, across 217 cadet expeditions, grow and develop through challenging adventures - this is Shiza's story.

To better understand today's challenges, our series of research reports explore the perceived barriers to careers in tech, alternative routes into the industry, and the complexities of talent retention

Last year, BAE Systems Air donated £400,000 to local causes and our employees volunteered more than 4,000 hours to support our communities.

After serving 12 years on active duty as an instructor pilot in the US Air Force, Matt Medley is no stranger to great heights. Even as a civilian he’s a licensed airline pilot and flight instructor, so you could say there’s always a part of him up in the clouds.

Synthetics already play a significant part in the life of a Royal Air Force pilot — and, as the technology becomes ever more sophisticated, the ability to do more with synthetics grows. At RAF Coningsby, one of the UK’s main operating bases for its Typhoon fleet,  a team of around 20 training experts from BAE Systems put new and experienced RAF pilots through their paces to ensure they’re ready for whatever the real world  throws at them.

Troops on the front line have a precarious relationship with information. How can we enable them to make the best decisions possible?

Red Flag is tough. A gruelling two-week combat air exercise that’s one of the largest and most intense in the world. But in 2024 it got even tougher for the Typhoon crews from the UK RAF’s 3(F) Squadron from RAF Coningsby. Not only did they face two weeks of demanding daily sorties at the Nellis Air Force Base, but when they’d completed that phase it was straight to California for round two.

It was a night of celebration for BAE Systems apprentices across the UK and in particular, our three Munitions apprentices, Josh, Nathan and Oliver who were this year nominated for awards at the UK Apprentice Awards held in Manchester this February.

Typhoon proved it can mix it with the best during one of the world’s toughest, most intense air exercises. Crews from the UK RAF’s 3(F) Squadron from RAF Coningsby had a demanding test during the recent Red Flag 24 at Nellis Air Base in the United States, but came through it with reputations enhanced.

InnovateHer launches its first of a kind cyber security course to help young people stay safe online thanks to funding from BAE Systems.
