Civil aerospace and defence have long been at the forefront of innovation in the UK.
The UK civil aerospace industry is 2nd largest in the world after the USA. 90% of what is produced in the UK is exported. The UK sector has a reputation as a global centre of excellence for engines, wings, helicopters, structures and aircraft systems including landing gear. Digital Catapult has been active in helping companies in the UK to understand and successfully adopt and gain value from advanced digital technologies including AI, IoT and immersive systems.
Over the last few years in the defence sector, there has been a major shift towards the use of ‘non-traditional defence technologies’. These include advanced digital technologies such as AI, immersive technologies and IoT.
