Last week, we welcomed Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP Defence Secretary @wesstreeting and Scotland Secretary @D_G_Alexander to our Scotstoun shipyard in Glasgow- where they announced a new UK Government policy to keep British jobs, skills and supply chains at the heart of defence. It's a commitment our 4,000 people on the Clyde make every day, delivering eight Type 26 frigates for the @RoyalNavy 🔗 Explore a career in shipbuilding with us: baes.co/nvH85103KWj

We took the TRV-150, a heavy-lift uncrewed platform already proven in logistics, integrated a precision rocket system and demonstrated multi-target engagement in a single mission - no landing, no reloading. We went from concept to operational trial in months; that’s what relevant, rapid development looks like 🔗 baesystems.com/en-uk/article…

BAE Systems Anti Threat System (BATS) łączy funkcje wykrywania, podejmowania decyzji i rażenia w ramach jednolitego podejścia, pomagając w wykrywaniu, śledzeniu i neutralizacji bezzałogowych zagrożeń. Dzięki fuzji danych z wielu sensorów w wiarygodny, wspólny obraz sytuacji operacyjnej, BATS wspiera szybsze i bardziej świadome podejmowanie decyzji oraz umożliwia realizację zadań obrony warstwowej przy użyciu zintegrowanych środków typu soft-kill i hard-kill. Jego modułowa i skalowalna architektura pozwala na adaptację do zmieniających się zagrożeń oraz wymogów operacyjnych, zarówno w środowisku wojskowym, jak i cywilnym.

A section of a Dreadnought Class submarine moved through the centre of Barrow-in-Furness, dwarfing the streets around it. These are the largest and most complex submarines we've ever built. Behind every section is the skill of the people of Barrow, building the boats that will carry the UK's continuous at sea deterrent for decades to come. 🔗 baes.co/vRHo50ZAkzC

On this day 40 years ago, EAP took to the skies, proving ideas that still fly at the heart of @eurofighter Typhoon. Behind every breakthrough are the people who made it possible. The engineers, the hands and the minds who turned bold ideas into flight. Watch the full story ✈️ baes.co/tTkl50ZwvaY

We asked Georgia and Aidan, two apprentices in the Dreadnought programme to explain in their own words what it means to work on such an important national endeavour. Hear about how they made it into their apprenticeships and Dreadnought's impact on local communities.👇

We've been awarded a new £5.9bn contract to progress the Dreadnought Class submarines. These four submarines will replace the Vanguard fleet and maintain the UK's Continuous At Sea Deterrent, an unbroken nuclear deterrence capability that has helped protect national security for more than 50 years. 🔗 baes.co/C8EK50Zuywf
