Capability development

We work closely with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to identify how our world-leading science can best be applied to support military decision-making.

Our capabilities range from predicting how environmental conditions will affect military sensors to advising MOD strategic planners on the impacts of climate change on future defence requirements.

Effects of climate change on the developing world

Our range of mission support tools and environmental information feeds are interpreted for operational impact and briefed directly to military decision-makers by our specialist advisors. The outputs can also be fed directly into mission planning, targeting and navigation systems.

Getting the latest environmental intelligence to military decision-makers in the frontline can provide a battle winning edge. We are pioneering new OGC® compliant web services delivery technologies with the MOD that will enable our information to be more closely integrated into military networks and mission planning systems.

Environmental information feeds for defence

We can help you predict when your equipment may be affected by atmospheric dust or whether the conditions are right for an amphibious assault.
