The National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 confirmed that the government remains committed to the principles set out in the 2012 white paper National security through technology.

In this context, we will refresh our defence industrial policy and take further action to help the UK’s defence and security industries to grow and compete successfully. We will drive greater innovation into our defence procurement, and ensure that future investment decisions contribute to a more dynamic and productive economy.
