What the Strategic Defence Review means for uncrewed and autonomous systems

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.
