Defence Market Drivers

Recognising the changing security challenges facing the UK and its Armed Forces in the 21^st century, the UK’s first combined Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), entitled ‘Securing Britain in an Age of Uncertainty’, was published in October 2010.

The Review took an in-depth view of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, with a view to making Britain’s Armed Forces “amongst the most versatile in the world”. It also considered the new and varied threats posed by globalisation, such as economic, cyber, and proxy attacks, rather than traditional direct military confrontation.

This section discusses the Defence market drivers that come out of the SDSR, as they look to support front-line military requirement and the UK Government’s significant transformation plans, and highlights the type of work VEGA is undertaking to support its clients in these areas:

Affordability
VEGA is a recognised key supplier to the UK MOD, helping define the most effective capability effect and ensuring that this is acquired, integrated and deployed with maximum efficiency, and delivers the through-life operational benefits for which it was intended.

Acquisition Reform
VEGA has over two decades' experience in supporting the procurement and integration of military capability. The company already works with UK MOD to manage several through-life support contracts and transformational programmes alongside Integrated Project Teams across the breadth of Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S).

Value for Defence

VEGA's strategic military expertise in areas such as Technology Performance Management (TPM), training, information sharing, secure systems, and application assurance, means we are extremely well-placed to help the MOD achieve its strategic objective of supporting current military operations on an ongoing basis.
