Where the capability is
What UKIZ holds for this campus
My UKIZ
The digital campus
Defence, Security & Dual-Use Technology in Britain, as it stands today.
Sovereign capability now depends on companies that are not traditional primes. The mission is procurement access, dual-use routes and the security capability the rest of the economy depends on.
Every line below is a record with a date. Where UKIZ holds nothing, it says so rather than filling the space.
Sources and freshness
Every line above carries where it came from.
Records come from published sources: filings, university and Catapult pages, government announcements and organisation-supplied information, each marked as such. Inferred facts are labelled inferred.
