We welcome the publication of the UK Defence Industrial Plan. It provides the clarity industry needs to plan, invest and deliver. We're ready to play our part. Read our full statement 🔗 baes.co/nv2N50ZiKPg

Today’s announcement marks an important step forward for this strategically vital programme. We also welcome the UK Gov’s strong commitment to @GCAP_int in the Defence Investment Plan, reflecting its criticality as part of the UK’s sovereign combat air capability long term.

Nyan - The latest addition to our uncrewed air systems capabilities. A British-built One-Way Effector now proven across land and sea by the @RoyalNavy and @BritishArmy. Discover more 🔗 baes.co/MPLJ50ZjX1u

The DNE is responsible for all UK submarines 🇬🇧. Built by @BAESystemsplc in Barrow, maintained by @Babcockplc in Devonport and Faslane and powered by @RollsRoyceUK in Derby, together we are maintaining the UK’s nuclear deterrent. Read more: ow.ly/sTW950Z7XMS

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. Read more from our tech director, Robert Merryweather 🔗 baes.co/zSQ850Zeygt

Uncrewed and autonomous systems are reshaping modern conflict, delivering affordable combat mass, extending reach and giving commanders more options for the future. We've been at the heart of this shift for more than 25 years. Discover more 🔗 baes.co/4sSf50Zb1MM

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. 🔗 baes.co/NNRs50YYhEv

First flood up for HMS Cardiff 🌊 This key process involves filling the dry dock with water, lifting the ship from its support blocks and enabling us to progress to the next stage of development for this Type 26 Global Combat Ship. 🔗 baes.co/CQZn50YSsqG

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 Learn more 📎 baes.co/SfT450YFy6B

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. ✈️ baes.co/j3rJ50YyAta
