“Emerging technologies are transforming traditional Defence strategies, evolving to embrace smarter more agile solutions. At the heart of this shift is the critical role of data. By integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and other sensors across military bases, valuable insights into utility consumption such as water and energy usage, and other key metrics become accessible. This data not only streamlines operations but also has the potential to dramatically reduce costs, making IoT a pivotal element in enhancing site security and increasing the living experience for personnel.” 🛡️ Read Richard Green at North's latest blog “Smart Sensors and Data Management – Shaping the Future of Defence with IoT and Data-Driven Strategies". 👉 Read here: https://orlo.uk/sCGFf Frederick Sugden | Jeremy Wimble #Defence #techUKDefence #DefenceTech ------------------------------- 🌱 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌍 https://orlo.uk/wrUZA

In our submission to the Strategic Defence Review, techUK's defence programme argued that the UK Ministry of Defence should provide clear guidance on how SMEs can enter the Defence Enterprise. Therefore we are pleased to see that to help companies, Defence Procurement and Commercial X has created a useful guide to some of the most commonly used frameworks and platforms for procuring innovative technologies, digital services, and accessing R&D. The page provides a useful overview of the different procurement vehicles and portals in use, their purpose, and how to join.
