In the first two episodes of this series, we explored the capability being developed by Team Tempest that will enable the UK, and particularly the Royal Air Force, to protect the country and meet potential threats.
In this episode we focus on the benefits that Team Tempest will deliver to the UK’s prosperity.
The UK government’s commitment to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by April 2027, with an ambition to increase to 3% in the next Parliament, as economic and fiscal conditions allow, will see the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War.
Joining host Zevi Watmough to discuss how Team Tempest and the wider UK Defence sector are important contributors to the country’s future economic growth are:
- Clive Higgins, ADS VP Defence (Leonardo UK Chair & CEO)
- John Stocker, BAE Systems, Business Development Director, FCAS
- Mark Tivey, Rolls Royce, Business Development Director, Future Programmes, Combat Air
