The Defence Investment Plan places autonomy at the heart of the UK's future Integrated Force. Investment spans land, maritime and air domains, reflecting lessons from Ukraine and the growing role of AI, robotics and uncrewed systems in modern warfare. This infographic highlights what the future holds for this essential capability. 

This content piece explores how the UK’s 2025 Strategic Defence Review positions uncrewed and autonomous systems at the heart of future military operations. From drone swarms on land to collaborative air platforms and undersea autonomy, the Review outlines how these technologies will enhance capability across all domains. Backed by major investment, new procurement models, and a clear shift toward innovation, autonomy is no longer an add-on- it’s a strategic priority shaping UK Defence through to 2035.

Defence iQ's latest piece by Steve Philpott explores how the war in Ukraine has rapidly accelerated the development and deployment of uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) in combat operations. From logistics and de-mining to fully robotic assaults, Ukrainian and Russian forces are testing the limits of what these systems can achieve. As Ukraine scales up its UGV programme and other nations watch closely, lessons from the battlefield are already influencing global procurement, design, and doctrine. With armed ground drones now a reality, the future of land warfare is shifting fast - and it’s increasingly unmanned.
