This infographic covers all the significant technologies the UK MoD is looking to invest in; these include artificial intelligence, CBRN, C4ISR, and more. Investments in these technologies and innovations have become especially important as they are crucial in achieving battlefield advantages in a more technologically disruptive world. This piece:

• Summaries the technologies of interest
• Updates the technological progress where applicable
• Contextualises the importance of the technology
  

Innovation is one of the UK MoD’s main priorities. With current conflicts and rising tensions, the UK forces are doing everything in their power to ensure that its warfighters hold the advantage on the battlefield; this includes the fielding of new innovations. Since innovations can come from anywhere, the MoD is leveraging itself as much as it can to find new innovations within itself, the defence industry, and beyond. If you are new to the UK’s defence ecosystem, getting your technology into the hands of the warfighter can be challenging. Luckily, in preparation for Defence IQ’s Defence Technology Conference, we are releasing a short step-by-step guide on how new or non-traditional innovators may develop their technologies and make them ready for the warfighter.

As society changes, enterprises that hope to employ and retain its members must change with it. In an increasingly complex world, the UK Army is committed to protecting the interests of the UK, but to do so effectively, it needs enough qualified people to do the job. In this interview, we talk to Brigadier James Cook about how the British Army is transforming the soldier's career path through several initiatives such as Project APEX and the Army Talent Framework. Find out how these initiatives will transform the soldier's career, making it more accessible, stable, and purposeful while ensuring the British Army lives up to its slogan “Be the Best”.
