Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our armed forces and security services.

The dedication of those who serve inspires us every day to design and deliver some of the world’s most advanced defence technologies that help protect our forces on the frontline. As part of our commitment to the armed forces, we’re proud to support and advocate for serving personnel, spouses, family members and veterans. We offer employment to service leavers, and support community and charitable projects through donations and volunteering.

Community and charity projects

We support a range of military community and charitable programmes, from sponsoring gift boxes for military families to giving careers advice for military spouses and donating to new rehabilitation centres for veterans. We also partner with the armed forces to inspire young people about Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths in schools.

Advocating for the defence family

We’re proud to be a member of the military family and show support by marking important armed forces anniversaries, including Anzac Day, National Military Appreciation Month, Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. We never forget the sacrifices made by those who have served.
