Investing in technology to secure a sustainable future
Developing innovative technologies is a key part of the work we do, and will ensure we have a sustainable business that will continue to create value for our stakeholders and customers.
Next-generation technologies
Our technology strategy is driven by the challenges that our customers are facing now and will face in the future. Our customers not only need next-generation technologies to complete their missions successfully, but many have also reiterated their commitment to improving sustainability through reducing their environmental impact. We're working on a range of technologies - like low-emission propulsion, energy storage, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, automation - to help them to fulfil these ambitions, as well as working to reduce the environmental impact of our own activities.
