We were pleased to host Make UK Defence last week at both our Vehicle Systems & Services site, and our Composites and Armour Systems site. Thank you to James Watson for the comments below. First stop, our new friends at NP Aerospace who have an unbelievable array of capabilities. They are one of the main suppliers of ballistic armour in the UK, and seeing the absolute care, dedication and ingenuity that goes in creating helmets and armour for that of our armed forces and our allies was incredible. They also are the lead of the Protected Mobility Engineering & Technical Support contract that sees them as the Engineering Authority on a fleet of 2,200 vehicles. It was incredibly encouraging to hear how they are maintaining and modernising these long-serving and how some cases they’d developed a vehicle with 100% US content to nearly 90% UK content. A great win for the supply chain and for our armed forces. #npaerospace #makeukdefence #vehiclesystems #armoursystems #manufacturing #engineering #defence #military #army
