This year’s edition of the biennial @dvd_event at UTAC Millbrook had a focus on the @BritishArmyOff’s effort to replace its Land Rovers and Pinzgauers. The bidders for the vehicle requirement were all there in force, with Shephard catching up with several of them at the show.

During @dvd_event 2026, our #MissionSystems team and Harmattan AI demonstrated a real-time drone intelligence exchange across the BCIP network. A great example of agile collaboration delivering operational value, improving situational awareness, and supporting faster decision-making.

Together as Team Boxer UK
One team. One shared purpose: delivering BOXER to the British Army.
At @dvd_event, the Team Boxer UK community came together to recognise the collective contribution being made across the programme.
Military and civilian. User and procurer. Government and industry. Primes, partners, SMEs and the wider supply chain. Team Boxer UK brings together the people and organisations playing their part in delivering BOXER to the British Army.
And that collective effort is delivering impact far beyond the vehicle itself.
BOXER is firmly in production, with the 100th UK Boxer delivered to the British Army in June. In total, 623 vehicles are being delivered, with UK manufacturing taking place at KNDS UK, Stockport and Rheinmetall Telford.
Across the programme:
• Around 75% of BOXER’s components are sourced domestically.
• More than 100 UK suppliers are contributing.
• Around 1,000 jobs are supported across the UK supply chain.
• More than £1.6 billion has been put into the UK economy through the BOXER programme.
Behind those numbers are the people, skills and expertise needed to deliver complex armoured vehicles in the UK – from engineering and manufacturing to integration, testing and through-life support.
Bringing Team Boxer UK together at DVD was an opportunity to recognise that shared contribution and the strength of the community behind the capability.
BOXER - the backbone of British industry.

Boxer with the Moog RIwP integrated, an interesting option for the UK and much needed.

DVD26 is a demonstration of next generation capabilities for the British Army.
It was good to be at the Millbrook proving grounds to see Challenger 3, Ajax, Boxer, RCH-155 and the M270-A2 side by side - new capabilities that increase the lethality of the British Army.

That's a wrap on @dvd_event 2026.
Two days of demonstrations, conversations, and collaboration focused on the future of better-informed decision-making across the battlespace.
Thank you to everyone who visited and shared their perspectives on what it takes to keep forces "Connected for Combat.”

Britain's soldiers will be better protected and better informed on the battlefield thanks to new spy drones announced yesterday at the @dvd_event (Defence Vehicle Dynamics) at UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground, in Bedfordshire.
£400m for long-endurance surveillance drones and a £16m deal for more than 1,000 smaller drones; backing the Army's next-gen uncrewed aerial systems.

Great conversations, strong engagement, and a shared focus on keeping forces “Connected for Combat.”
We'll be back tomorrow. Stop by Stand OR-21 and see our capabilities in action.

We were pleased to welcome @LukePollard MP, Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry @DefenceHQ, to the Leonardo stand at @dvd_event.
It was an opportunity for the Minister to learn more about Leonardo’s Containerised #FalconShield, our new rapidly deployable Counter Uncrewed Air Systems (#CUAS) capability developed in partnership with Marshall Land Systems.
Combining #Leonardo's proven Falcon Shield ecosystem with a standard ISO container, the new capability can be transported by air, land and sea, providing flexible protection wherever it is required.
