Smarter AI alone won't decide the future of military autonomy. The world it trains in will.
Train against a simplistic adversary and AI learns the wrong lessons. Our OdySSEy® and MIMESIS environments model real physics, sensors and weapons across every domain.

Why does the 🇬🇧 need its own 'frontier AI' model?
For defence, it means greater resilience and stronger data security. That's why we support @CosineAI's work on a complete UK AI stack, built on UK soil. Even if satellite links or undersea cables were cut, sovereign AI would keep the UK operational.

As we reflect on D-Day, we remember the courage shown and all that was given in service of others.
To all who served, and to those who never returned, we offer our respect and gratitude.
Lest we forget.
Unguided rocket + laser = low cost drone killer 💥
The Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) will be fitted to @royalairforce Typhoon fighter jets this May. The APKWS can destroy targets precisely and at a fraction of the price of missiles currently used.
From trial to operations in under two months. Working in partnership with the @RoyalAirForce we have brought a game-changing new capability to the frontline at pace.
Typhoon pilots are now flying with APKWS, our precision, low-cost weapon helping to counter uncrewed air systems in the Middle East.
Our Herne XLAUV is designed to deliver integrated military operational advantage in complex underwater battlespaces.
Working with @ThalesGroup advanced ISR mast, we’re combining a modular platform with rapid 360-degree image capture to enhance surface ISR from subsea platforms, while reducing above-surface exposure.

Tough environments like the Arctic demand resilient and reliable kit. The @RoyalMarines recently put the T-150 to the test in Northern Norway, delivering vital supplies in sub-zero temperatures.
Neil Appleton, who leads our @MalloyAero business, shares how this and our other T-150 collaborations are helping to transform military operations 🔗 baes.co/9oh350YGXhB
We've successfully completed test firing of a low-cost precision weapon equipped with an APKWS® laser guidance kit launched from a @eurofighter Typhoon.
The trial is a major step in delivering a highly effective, affordable solution to counter uncrewed aircraft systems (C-UAS) for Typhoon

Meet the Typhoon. ✈️
More than a third of every jet is made in the UK and 20,000 jobs are supported by this world-class technology.
This is British defence as an engine for growth. 👇
We have been awarded a contract to deliver support and training equipment and services to support Türkiye's @eurofighter Typhoon fleet.
This work will support the Turkish Air Force to deliver operational readiness and progressively increase its sovereign support of its fleet. Together with the @RoyalAirForce, we are delighted to support Türkiye as it becomes the latest air force to make Typhoon the backbone of its combat air.
