The EDGE UK
As General Dynamics UK continues to develop within an ever-evolving technical
domain, it is clear that innovation is one of the key ingredients to our
customers' continued success.
To do this, we need a physical and virtual environment that will enable us to work closely, and collaborate, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), academia and
customers, along with our existing and extensive supply network; to be able to assess and evaluate new technologies and bring them to market quickly.
The Defence Innovation Strategy focuses on creating
a 'new environment for innovation within the defence supply chain'. It also
states that within defence, innovation is essentially "the successful generation
and exploitation of new or, where appropriate, novel applications of existing
technology".
General Dynamics' leadership in the C4ISTAR land domain means that we
are naturally placed to lead the development of a new facility to harness
the necessary future collaboration, and deliver the next evolutionary step-change
in mission-winning capabilities, and solutions, that our customers demand.
This facility will be known as EDGE UK
