Strengthening operations through equipment and support
We don’t just equip our Armed Forces with the edge to protect our nation. Every equipment programme, every bit of kit, every UK military operation no matter where it is in the world across land, sea and air, is also backed by the support we provide 24/7, 365 days of the year.
Support to global operations
From ensuring the availability of our warships to making sure the UK’s fleet of Typhoon fighter jets are ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice, our round the clock support is every bit as vital as the kit itself. We put helmets on heads and helicopters in the air, boots on feet and boats in the water, ensuring every piece of kit is safely sourced, delivered and maintained.
What we’ve done so far:
Support to Ukraine
Since Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, we’ve sourced and delivered vast amounts of lethal and non-lethal aid, including supporting the training of over 30,000 Ukrainian recruits.
Our unwavering commitment will continue to grow as we #StandWithUkarine.
“During seven months in combat my squadron suffered 12 strikes from explosive devices. Thanks to the armoured vehicle urgently pushed into service by DE&S, we all came back to our families alive.”
“Having seen operations myself, I’m passionate about what we do. Everyday my team strives to reduce risk to military lives by developing robots to deliver supplies into combat zones.”
“Lately our quick reaction alert fighters have been in the air 25% more than planned to keep our skies safe. But thanks to the passion and collaboration of teams across the Royal Air Force, DE&S and industry, we’re able to keep our jets operating to face down the threat.”
“In a year my team placed 44 contracts and delivered over £750 million worth of vital support to our allies. Ultimately, our job keeps our families safe. That’s why we don’t stop until we know something’s impossible.”
“By working together over three days our team got nearly 50 tonnes of supplies into the hands of our elite troops, so they could evacuate thousands of UK citizens from a warzone.”
