BAE Systems
Aviation manufacturing and assembly has roots at Warton dating back to before the Second World War. Today, Warton is at the heart of BAE Systems’ Air Sector, where advanced engineering, research and development, human factors, and flight testing is conducted, including capability development and upgrades to the Typhoon aircraft.
It is also the home of the Factory of the Future, a first-of-its-kind, industry 4.0 factory, which is applying game-changing digital technologies to advance manufacturing on the UK’s next generation combat aircraft – Tempest.
Samlesbury has a long history in aviation, dating back to 1922. It is now an advanced manufacturing facility and is home to the Academy of Skills & Knowledge, which acts as a hub for lifelong learning, including our apprentice and graduate schemes.
With a rich history of aircraft manufacturing, Brough is BAE Systems’ centre for digital engineering excellence and supports the delivery of some of the world’s most advanced defence programmes, such as Tempest, the next-generation combat aircraft.
Humberside Airport is home to our Aircraft Maintenance Academy – a world-class learning facility designed to training the next generation of aircraft maintenance technicians for the UK’s and our allies’ fleet of combat jets.
The second biggest employer on the isle of Anglesey, RAF Valley is responsible for training the UK’s next generation of pilots. Approximately 100 BAE Systems colleagues work at RAF Valley, providing maintenance and training support to the UK RAF Hawk Fleet, including supporting the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, who are based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.
Home to the Typhoon Force since 2005, today, the Typhoon Force at RAF Coningsby has responsibility for Quick Reaction Alert, safeguarding the southern portion of the UK’s airspace. BAE Systems’ colleagues based in RAF Coningsby work shoulder to shoulder with Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), and the Royal Air Force, to deliver fast jet support and pilot training for Typhoon, ensuring the fleet is ready to deliver on operations 24/7/365.
RAF Lossiemouth is a Typhoon main operating base – home to four Typhoon squadrons – with its primary role being the provision of Quick Reaction Alert North, maintaining aircraft and crews on high alert to scramble and intercept unidentified aircraft approaching UK airspace.
Towcester is home to BAE Systems’ Microwave Materials facility for low observable materials research and development for future combat air systems and applied research programmes.
BAE Systems colleagues at Filton design, manufacture and support military aircraft, radar, avionics, communications, electronics and guided weapon systems. Its Micro & Nano Systems facility is a unique centre of excellence for the manufacture of devices on the micro and nano scales.
RAF Marham is home to the UK’s Lightning Force, and BAE Systems works shoulder-to-shoulder with the Royal Air Force to support the F-35 Lightning II through providing training, maintenance and upgrades.
Leonardo
Leonardo’s site in Somerset has been an aerospace hub for more than 100 years and is home to its end‑to‑end helicopter capability in design, development, manufacture, support and training.
Opened in 2026, Leonardo’s Elstree site provides maintenance, logistics and technical support for civil helicopter fleets operating across the UK and Ireland. Delivered through its European support network, the facility combines continental logistics expertise with UK engineering capability to support Leonardo and Agusta helicopters, strengthening customer proximity and long-term support.
One of Leonardo’s principal UK sites supporting Team Tempest, and home to radar, lasers, infra‑red counter measures, electro‑optic targeting, data science and analytics.
Leonardo has had a presence in Bristol since 2011 and is the headquarters for Leonardo’s UK Cyber and Security team focusing on cyber and information assurance, critical infrastructure, training and simulation, automation.
One of Leonardo’s principal UK sites supporting Team Tempest and home to Defensive Aid Suites, radar warning receivers, jammers, electronic warfare cyber, electronic warfare training, mission systems integration, satellite services, geo‑information and ground systems, electro‑magnetic exploitation.
The Lincoln site of Leonardo offers a dedicated facility to provide Electronic Warfare Operational Support to its customers, particularly RAF Waddington and RAF Coningsby.
 Opened in 2024, Leonardo’s site in Newcastle is home to its high-technology science and engineering facility focusing on next‑generation digital, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and autonomy via Air Launched Effects. 
Today, Basildon is home to around 500 people who are involved in the design and development of thermal imaging systems, radar systems, radio communications, infrared detection, signal processing and network systems.
The facility in Southampton is home to some of Leonardo’s communications, detectors, optronics, and air traffic control products.
MBDA
MBDA’s site was first built in the 1950s, when the new town of Stevenage was being developed. Today it has been extensively redeveloped for housing state-of-the-art engineering environments for testing, R&D and simulation & synthetic environment.
Opened in 2017, following MBDA’s move from its historic Lostock site (originally De Havilland Propellers’ home), the site homes the company’s state-of-the-art UK manufacturing facility, among which an Integrated Logistics Centre (ILC).
Close to the UK Ministry of Defence, this site houses many of MBDA’s business and engineering functions, as well as Sparkworks, its area for developing cutting-edge technology that turns science fiction into science fact.
Rolls-Royce
At its Bristol site, Rolls-Royce designs, builds and tests equipment, systems and support solutions for 160 defence customers world-wide. This includes proven engines like the EJ200, Adour, MT30 and now the development of next generation power and propulsion. They have a strong heritage of providing mission critical equipment and services to the UK Ministry of Defence – a relationship that spans over a century.
This advanced manufacturing facility is highly focused on precision control systems for military aircraft. Engineers here design and manufacture the safety-critical engine control software and electronic components that govern power and performance in extreme operational environments.
This modern manufacturing hub is dedicated to producing high-integrity components for military compressor systems. It plays a vital role in maintaining parts and engineering services for combat and transport fleets.
At the epicentre of the UK’s naval nuclear programme, the Raynesway site designs, builds, and manages the nuclear propulsion reactors that power the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet.
Shared with civil aerospace, this huge complex provides essential design engineering, supply chain orchestration, and data-monitoring infrastructure for global defence transport and patrol fleets. It also houses the Nuclear Skills Academy, a dedicated pipeline training the next generation of nuclear defence experts.
With a dedicated, purpose-built Propulsion Support Facility, the Rolls-Royce team here provides on-base maintenance and real-time diagnostic support for the Eurojet EJ200 engines powering the RAF’s Typhoon combat squadrons. The site works to maximise engine readiness and have fast turnaround times for the UK’s primary Quick Reaction Alert interceptor fleet.
The on-site engineering team here is responsible for managing and maintaining the LiftSystem, a complex short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) machinery that enables the F-35B jets to hover and land vertically.
The Rolls-Royce team at Brize Norton provides critical, hands-on propulsion support for the UK’s heavy Air Mobility Force. The engineers ensure maximum availability for tactical transport and aerial refuelling fleets, specifically maintaining the TP400 turboprop engines that power the A400M fleet.
