What does it mean to be a digital manufacturer?

For aerospace and defence manufacturers, four digital initiatives stand out for helping companies innovate, achieve better business results and unlock growth. Among these, aerospace automation companies embrace digitally connected processes and data.

Agentic AI: Accelerating decision superiority

In the military context, agent-based AI—or agentic AI—offers a practical way to keep decisions aligned with mission intent.

Driving defence innovation at pace

To stay ahead of evolving threats, defence organisations must embed innovation into culture, systems and partnerships—at speed and at scale.

Safeguarding defence in the quantum age

As quantum computing advances, defence organisations must act now to protect national security from future cryptographic threats.
