UK: Modernising Defence Programme public consultation

Detail of outcome

The Defence Secretary launched the Modernising Defence Programme in January 2018 with the aim of further strengthening and modernising defence in response to a more complex and challenging international security situation. This report ‘Mobilising, modernising and transforming defence' describes a set of policy approaches and capability investments that will help to keep us on track to deliver the right UK defence for the coming decade.

Supported by the additional £1.8 billion funding announced in the Autumn Budget, defence will:

  • mobilise, making more of what we already have to ensure our armed forces are best placed to protect our security
  • modernise, embracing new technologies and assuring our competitive edge over our adversaries
  • transform, radically changing the way we do business and staying ahead of emerging threats

As we move towards the 2019 Spending Review, we must sustain this momentum. The Defence Secretary will continue to work with the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and the National Security Council to explore how these aims should be fulfilled alongside our other national security priorities.
