Strategic Aims
We engage with international partners to develop a coherent view of their future requirements.
In so doing, we look out over a 15-year horizon to understand our customers’ long-term needs and use this to shape future capabilities, products and services that can leverage UK defence capabilities, technologies and skills.
In discharging these activities, we engage across the entire defence value chain. This includes the large international prime contractors, system, sub-system, support service providers, SMEs and academia. As an essential element of DGP our other key stakeholders are Government and ADS, the trade organisation representing the aerospace, defence, security and space industries in the UK.
Our strategy integrates our major goals and activities into a cohesive whole and provides a framework for our activities over the long term.
At the core of the strategy is supporting UK defence to develop opportunities with our national and international partners.
Our unique position in the pre-competitive space creates a supportive environment for open engagement with UK stakeholders and international customers. As a result of this approach, the UK defence enterprise can collaborate and innovate in a highly effective manner.
