Defence Equipment & Support Strategy

Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) has refreshed its strategy to ensure that it secures the best possible operational and technological edge for the armed forces over our adversaries by 2025. It outlines how DE&S will deliver more of what matters for Defence and its contribution to protecting the nation and helping the UK prosper.

The strategy sets out three strategic outcomes: delivering the outputs our armed forces need today, sharpening Defence’s edge for tomorrow, and driving efficiency and competitiveness together (as part of a One Defence team).

The strategy is DE&S’s response to the Integrated Review Refresh 2023 and the Defence Command Paper 2023.
