We manage a vast range of projects to supply and maintain vital equipment and services for the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force.

Together, we deliver essential defence programmes - and strive for what's next.

Because it helps keep our military at the top of their game and our nation safe, now and in the future.


Across our 12,500-strong organisation, we support all our people to be at their very best, fostering a family-friendly approach to flexible and hybrid working.

After all, support is in our name.
