Innovation in policing: The state of play
Like many industries, UK policing is currently undergoing a significant amount of digital transformation. However, there are various challenges to address and key considerations to keep in mind.
In the first of our three-part blog series looking into digital transformation across police forces in England and Wales, we review the current innovation landscape.
UK's first space degree apprenticeship launched
BAE Systems and the University of Portsmouth have launched the UK’s first ever degree apprenticeship in Space Systems Engineering.
Applications are now open for the first intake of space degree apprentices who will be part of exciting projects such as Azalea, which is due to launch its first multi-sensor low earth orbit satellite cluster in 2025 to deliver intelligence in real-time to military customers.
Apprentices will learn on-the-job critical skills at BAE Systems sites in Alton and Guildford, including System and Mission Analysis, Software Development, AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control System) and Electronics from some of the most talented people in the industry.
At the University of Portsmouth, the apprentices will undertake a Bachelor of Engineering in Space Systems Engineering. This four and half year course will provide them with the very latest skills in Computer Aided Design, Telecommunication Systems, Space Science, Space Mission Design and Materials and Manufacture.

Gaining an advantage in the Grey Zone
The relationship between Multi-Domain Integration and the Grey Zone – the conceptual area between traditional notions of conflict and peace – is where the UK can leverage centuries of advantage and innovation to form vital digital threads across defence.
Achieving this requires us as an ecosystem to embrace a new mindset. We must be comfortable with pushing new boundaries…with being uncomfortable.
