Digital


Our digital solutions strengthen cyber resilience and empower data-driven decision-making for UK defence. We provide comprehensive digital transformation, architecting open and secure systems that ensure operational flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

Our work

Estates Intelligence for defence estates

Empowering strategic, sustainable and efficient estates management

• Data‑led asset insight and assurance to optimise performance, compliance and user experience across large, secure estates. • Single source of truth for assets, planned maintenance and supply‑chain performance, supporting rapid, evidence‑based decisions. • Proven on high‑scale public sector portfolios; approach and tooling readily transferable to MOD environments.

Autonomous Resilient Cyber Defence (ARCD) / Autonomous Defensive Cyber (ADC)

Using AI & ML with future MOD tech to tackle cyber attacks

• Dstl‑funded collaboration exploring how AI builds cyber situational awareness and supports autonomous defensive responses. • Defined optimal training/evaluation environments for ML; maturing into ADC operational capability from July 2025. • Demonstrates ‘responsible AI’ pipeline from lab research to deployable defence tooling.

Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness

Protecting sensitive defence data against future quantum threats

• Expert assessments of cryptographic estates and migration planning to meet NCSC timelines. • Tools and advisory to prioritise quantum‑safe transitions across high‑consequence systems. • Supports sovereign resilience for MOD and wider secure government.

SERAPIS Lot 6 (Understand)

Delivering AI/ML/NLP research pipelines for Dstl and Front‑Line Commands

• Managed 190+ suppliers/academics with >70% tasks to SMEs and non‑traditional suppliers. • Research areas spanned AI/ML, deep learning, knowledge agents and reasoning/argumentation. • Accelerated technology transition by aligning tasks to operational needs.

A²ISR – AI‑enabled multi‑domain intelligence tasking

From manually‑tasked ISR to automated, AI‑assisted analysis

• Led industry approach to automated tasking across ISR enterprise; demonstrated AI‑enabled analysis. • Orchestrated 20+ organisations across advanced AI techniques to prove future ISR concepts. • Showed how S&T accelerates analyst throughput and decision speed.

Digital & information‑led mission assurance (FMSP)

Keeping the Royal Navy mission‑ready with data‑driven base operations

• Asset and programme management, utilities and alongside operations for ~60% of RN surface fleet at Portsmouth. • Digital FM and decision support streamline repairs, berthing/locking, and shore power connections to vessels. • JV model (KBS Maritime) combining engineering, digital and waterfront execution to transform through‑life support.

P3M & digital solution deployment (NTSP)

Programme controls and digital governance for critical naval infrastructure

• Client‑side P3M, data/information management and project controls underpin Clyde infrastructure upgrades. • Delivered via the KAD Consortium with scalable nuclear workforce and behaviours‑based selection. • Provides repeatable, secure digital management patterns for high‑consequence environments.

Enterprise data platforms for secure estates (DWP / Home Office / MoJ)

Operating at national scale with a single source of truth

• Aggregated Asset Registers, PPM schedules and real‑time CAFM integrations assure value, compliance and response across 1,000+ buildings. • 24/7 national helpdesks, KPI performance analytics and Power BI insights for accountable delivery. • Approach proven across DWP, Home Office and MoJ estates.

LLMs in wargaming – secure knowledge interrogation

Turning complex exercise outputs into actionable insight

• Combined local LLM with Retrieval‑Augmented Generation to safely query rich scenario artefacts. • Reduced operator burden and improved training preparedness with rapid evidence extraction. • Demonstrated secure deployment patterns appropriate to classified contexts.
