Hear from #MissionSystems engineering manager Gavin, following #ExerciseACCELERATOR2.0, on how our team put systems integration into practice at the Battle Lab, connecting to the EFDI data backbone and demonstrating PORTH at the tactical edge. As a key systems integrator, we’re proud to support work advancing interoperability across @NATO.

Great to see our #MissionSystems colleague Kirsten take the stage at Global Defence Aviation to explore how edge AI could act as a “digital observer” on uncrewed platforms, supporting rapid assessment, mission effectiveness and human decision-making.

Thanks Defence Leaders for a great event!

We were honoured to welcome the Secretary of State for Wales @WalesOffice, Stephen Kinnock, to our facility in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. The visit highlighted the important role Wales plays in supporting the UK's defence capability.

General Dynamics Land Systems is proud to be part of Wales’ advanced manufacturing sector, supporting highly skilled jobs, investing in future talent and contributing to a resilient UK defence industrial base.

Our programmes have supported more than 4,000 jobs across the UK, while our continued investment in people, facilities and supply chain development is helping create lasting opportunities across South Wales and reinforcing Wales’ reputation for engineering excellence.

Our #LandSystems team was pleased to attend the Aberdare Jobs Fair at Cynon Linc, where we had the opportunity to connect with people taking their first step in their career, exploring a new career path, or searching for their next opportunity.

At General Dynamics Land Systems, we're committed to supporting the future of the defence industry by investing in people. Working alongside local communities and partners across South Wales, we help create opportunities in engineering and manufacturing for individuals at every stage of their career journey.

From apprenticeship programmes to our Engineering Academy, we're helping develop the skills and talent needed to strengthen both our local communities and the UK's future industrial workforce.

Our #LandSystems team was honoured to welcome the UK Chief of the Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, to Merthyr Tydfil.

The visit highlighted the strategic importance of a strong, sovereign UK land industrial base — connecting the British Army with the people, skills and manufacturing capability needed to deliver and sustain operational advantage.

For more than 60 years, General Dynamics has partnered with UK Defence. Today, our South Wales operations bring together advanced engineering, manufacturing, and through-life support, backed by a nationwide supply chain.

At Merthyr Tydfil, the CDS alongside Lt General Anna-Lee Reilly saw that capability first-hand and met some of the apprentices, graduates and veterans building the next generation of UK defence skills.

Investing in sovereign capability, skilled people, and enduring British Army–industry partnership strengthens both national resilience and the UK’s ability to support its allies.

The future of electronics starts at @electronicaFair 2026, and we'll be there.

Our #MissionSystems supply chain team will be exploring emerging technologies and engaging in conversations shaping the future of electronics. With a focus on a more connected digital battlespace and crewed and uncrewed vehicle capabilities, we're looking forward to discovering innovations that could support our avionics and battlefield communications programmes.

Incredible agility delivers results within short timelines.

At @BritishArmy-led #ExerciseACCELERATOR 2.0, our #MissionSystems and #LandSystems teams demonstrated rapid integration and interoperability as part of @NATO's Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative (EFDI).

Within two days, we connected Bowman with the EFDI data backbone, integrating the AJAX suite of sensors through its electronic architecture and into the network, enabling situational awareness and targeting data to flow between otherwise separate systems.

A look back on @dvd_event 2026.

From #AJAX and #Ranger to #MESHnet and beyond, our #LandSystems and #MissionSystems teams demonstrated integrated capabilities designed for today's mission needs. Thanks to our customers, partners, and industry colleagues.

[General Dynamics UK @gduknews]

During @dvd_event 2026, our #MissionSystems team and Harmattan AI demonstrated a real-time drone intelligence exchange across the BCIP network. A great example of agile collaboration delivering operational value, improving situational awareness, and supporting faster decision-making.

[General Dynamics UK @gduknews]

Day one at @dvd_event 2026 hit full-throttle.

Our #LandSystems and #MissionSystems teams spent the day delivering demonstrations, connecting with customers and partners, and discussing the future of tactical digital modernisation.

Great conversations, strong engagement, and a shared focus on keeping forces “Connected for Combat.”

We'll be back tomorrow. Stop by Stand OR-21 and see our capabilities in action.

Our #LandSystems team is pleased to announce that the UK Ministry of Defence has awarded GDLS-UK a contract for the Foxhound Technical Demonstrator Platform (TDP) programme.

The TDP is helping to explore potential future upgrade options for Foxhound, a combat-proven capability for the British Army.
Since entering service in 2012, Foxhound has built a strong reputation for delivering protected mobility in demanding operational environments. Today, with 52 upgraded Command & Control Variant (C2V) vehicles in service and the TDP programme underway, the platform continues to evolve to meet future operational requirements.

This investment reflects continued confidence in Foxhound’s future and supports the UK’s sovereign defence skills, manufacturing expertise and protected mobility capability. Through the TDP programme, activity will explore potential improvements to the platform while helping to sustain specialist engineering knowledge in the UK.

A proven platform. Built on experience. Designed for tomorrow.

Our #LandSystems team is pleased to announce a collaboration with ARX Robotics UK to explore future crewed-uncrewed teaming capabilities for the British Army.

The collaboration will explore how the Ajax family of vehicles could integrate with autonomous "wingman" systems, supporting reconnaissance, surveillance, protection, and combat missions. The digital architecture on Ajax gives the British Army the capability to rapidly integrate uncrewed systems into the brigade combat teams.

Beyond capability development, we're also exploring how UK manufacturing, skills and supply chains can support the production and sustainment of future autonomous land systems at scale.

This collaboration reflects our commitment to innovation, sovereign capability and supporting the future needs of the British Army.

Reflecting on a successful event at this year's @businessinfocus' Defence Security Resilience Cymru (DSRC) 2026.

Building strong partnerships is critical to driving innovation and resilience in defence, and DSRC provided the perfect opportunity to do just that.

From meeting potential suppliers to speaking with future talent, our #LandSystems and #MissionSystems teams enjoyed connecting with the people helping to deliver the next generation of capabilities.

We look forward to staying in touch and exploring opportunities to work together.
