October 16th marked the 85th anniversary of MOD Aberporth, a remarkable milestone in the history of UK Defence. For 85 years, MOD Aberporth has played a critical role in advancing the nation’s defence capabilities, from being a military testing range during the Second World War to the cutting-edge test and evaluation facility it is today. We were delighted to be joined at MOD Aberporth by our colleagues and a delegation from Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) to celebrate this amazing achievement. #MODAberporth #TestandEvaluation #UKDefence

The impacts of climate change are already being felt in the defence sector.   If climate change continues along current projections, the operational impact on the military will be extensive across all domains.   Our new “Sustainability on the Edge” report explores the impacts that a warming planet has for the defence and security industry, and offers advice on building operational advantage in the face of climate change and energy transition.   With collaboration, we can deliver resilient advantage in a climate changed world.   Download the report here: 👇 https://ow.ly/WGjb50TNt5P #NetZero #ClimateChange #Innovation #Sustainability

Great to see our colleagues in QinetiQ Australia working with Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) to deliver important Test and Evaluation capabilities that contribute to the Defence Readiness of the Australian Defence Force.

Test & Evaluation (T&E) is at the heart of QinetiQ’s offering to our defence customers, but why is it so important in the underwater domain and how must it evolve to meet the future requirements of our customers? At the highest level, T&E aims to provide our customers with an evidence base that allows them to make well-informed, objective decisions in relation to an underwater capability. From analysing manoeuvrability to evaluating the stealth performance of submarines, we help our customers to achieve capability, safety, survivability, efficiency and fleet availability, through the deep expertise of our people and the use of our highly advanced strategic facilities.

Our Group CEO Steve Wadey had the pleasure of hosting Damian Parmenter CBE, UK’s Director General AUKUS, at Portsdown Technology Park (PTP) last week, to showcase our core capabilities and highlight how QinetiQ is uniquely positioned to deliver under AUKUS Pillar 1 and Pillar 2. About his visit to PTP, Damian Parmenter CBE said: “Returning to Portsdown, where I started my career in Defence 34 years ago, it was hugely impressive to get an insight into the unique role of QinetiQ in the UK and with AUKUS partners. Integrating and innovating with the capability to test and evaluate at pace, QinetiQ will remain at the forefront of ensuring UK Armed Forces have the cutting-edge technology needed to win in the future. Thank you Steve and team, and Metaverse VR Ltd for such a great day.” Some of our core capabilities that align with AUKUS include: ✅ Submarine Test & Evaluation that we provide under the Maritime Strategic Capability Agreement (MSCA) ✅ Developments such as the DragonFire LDEW (Laser Directed Energy Weapons) capability achieved earlier this year, and autonomous technologies like those used in recent REPMUS exercises (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Unmanned Systems) #AUKUS #TestandEvaluation #Underwater
