UK’s high-tech warfare operations to be unified in defence shake-up
- The UK Ministry of Defence revealed results of a review into high-tech warfare during a visit to its cyber headquarters in Corsham, Wiltshire, in May 2025.
- The review was initiated soon after last year’s election by the Labour government in response to growing cyber threats and the changing nature of warfare demonstrated by the conflict in Ukraine.
- It proposes a Digital Targeting Web that uses AI and data from satellites, aircraft, and drones to improve speed and connectivity for soldiers on the ground.
- Defence Secretary John Healey emphasized that cyber capabilities have become a critical aspect of modern warfare, prompting plans to increase defence expenditure to 2.5% of GDP by 2027.
- The review signals a shift towards faster innovation in UK military technology and confirms ongoing offensive cyber operations amid over 90,000 cyber-attacks in two years.
