It’s Scottish Apprenticeship Week! For our colleagues across Scotland, it’s a perfect reminder of the opportunities apprenticeships provide. As one apprentice with our partner Collins Aerospace described, apprenticeships are about more than just training – they’re the foundation of career growth; providing skills, knowledge and experience that guides professionals to success. This week highlights the lasting impact apprenticeships have in building stronger, more skilled teams.
Aligning aspiration and resource. That’s the challenge faced by the Strategic Defence Review, and a theme we explore with Dr Peter Roberts in the latest episode of ‘This Means War’. Listen below 👇

What does the defence industry need from a 'Strategic Defence Review'? If the relationship between a government, the military, and industry is to really change from a transactional one towards a sincere partnership it must be underpinned by a new era of honesty and clarity. Simon Kings, Exec BD Director of Raytheon UK, talks about what has changed for industry since 2022, and what the threat picture looks like for the DIB. The discussion covers procurement and acquisition, processes and modernisation, challenges to delivery, and what the reality of ‘sovereignty’ as a political ambition statement looks like. Foundational to all of this is Simon’s description of the way industry (and shareholders) make investment decisions: yet another set of political speeches and promises, policies and transformations, will not cut it. Clarity about which bits of national security are not going to be funded are as important as the revelations of what is to be renewed. That honesty and clarity seems to have been missing for several decades. Will this be the moment it changes? Chapeau to Sen Sami and the team at Raytheon UK for enabling us to make this mini-series happen. Without their support, and their desire to air some honest assessments about what the UK (like many other European states) faces over the next decade, we wouldn't have been able to put this together.

Last week, we held our first Integrated Air & Missile Defence (IAMD) symposium. Thank you to our host Dr Peter Roberts, and to all of our esteemed speakers and guests who joined us for a productive conversation on this crucial aspect of our national defence. If you weren’t able to make it on the day, here are three key takeaways you need to know: 1️⃣ Decisive action must be taken now to enhance Britain’s IAMD capabilities. Modern-day improvements in technology mean that threats have increased in range, speed, size, spread, and co-ordination. We can no longer rely on traditional assumptions about geographical advantages. 2️⃣ The key goal of IAMD must be to effectively deter adversaries through increasing Britain’s resilience in mindset and infrastructure. Whilst investment in IAMD is expensive, failure to deter is significantly more so. 3️⃣ IAMD is an ecosystem - not a single system or process. It encompasses active and passive air defences as well as offensive counter-air missions, with each element playing a critical role. Military, politicians and public all have a role to play in keeping our skies safe.
Romania's commitment to enhancing its defence capabilities with the procurement of additional Patriot air defence systems protects their critical national infrastructure and bolsters NATO's collective security. Providing the foundation of air defence for 19 countries, including 8 NATO members, Patriot is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defence capability in the world able to defend against advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats. Read below to learn more.
📰 NEWS: Raytheon was awarded a $946 million contract to provide Romania with additional Patriot air defense systems, including fire units consisting of radars, control stations and missiles. "Romania's continued investment in Patriot is a testament to the nation's dedication to ensuring collective security, deterrence, and stability across Europe." - Pete Bata, senior vice president of Global Patriot at Raytheon Details: https://bit.ly/3DLjOUq
Breaking news >> LOCI – our Low Earth Orbit observation system - generated over 90,000 observations in December 👀. That’s twice our previous record! Congratulations to our NORSS team, who successfully doubled our observation record thanks to several software and system upgrades. Those observations were on over 9,000 unique satellites – itself an increase of around a third 🛰️. We’re looking forward to breaking more records, and generating more intelligent data, throughout 2025. #RaytheonNORSS #LowEarthOrbit #SpaceDomainAwareness
