Ships and Submarines

Type 45 Destroyer

The sea provides UK Armed Forces with the opportunity to operate with a degree of security and persistence and without having to rely on access to the territory of other nations.

The Royal Navy (RN) wants to continue to develop as an agile, network-enabled expeditionary force which is able to switch between missions and tasks and operate with allies around the world.

Technologies in this area will improve integration of complex systems, survivability, combat systems, uninhabited maritime systems and the RN's platforms, ships and submarines.
