Defence consulting services

We provide SQEP consultants for UK defence projects, specialising in early CADMID stages and projects where science and technology are key. Leveraging in-house expertise and trusted partners, we deliver tailored, multi-disciplinary teams to solve complex technical problems across the defence landscape.

Operational Analysis

Our domain experts provide robust, evidence-based decision support across the full spectrum of Operational Analysis. Leveraging extensive experience in capability, process, and technology assessment, we enable defence clients to make strategic, informed decisions in complex and evolving environments. Our services encompass advanced technology analysis, roadmapping, modelling and simulation, as well as requirements and decision analysis. Through rigorous data-driven methodologies and business case development, we deliver actionable insights that support long-term planning and operational effectiveness.

Cost Engineering

We offer independent cost engineering services, including modelling, estimating, and risk analysis. Our transparent, tailored approach helps defence clients optimise spending, reduce costs, and ensure value for money across current and future projects.

Project, Programme & Portfolio Management (P3M)

We manage complex defence programmes from inception to delivery. Our P3M experts ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to high standards, using industry best practices and advanced tools.

Safety Assurance & Certification

We embed safety into defence systems from the outset, reducing risk and avoiding costly redesigns. Our experts apply best practice across civil and military domains to ensure safe, compliant, and effective operations throughout the lifecycle.

Supportability Engineering

We support defence systems through-life with expertise in ILS, supply chain management, and MOD assurance standards. Our services help clients make timely, evidence-based decisions aligned with DefStans and industry best practices.

Systems Engineering

Our systems engineers support the full lifecycle—from requirements to evaluation—enabling informed decisions and robust system design. We apply ISO15288, ITIL, and other standards to deliver high-quality, integrated defence solutions.

Our innovation expertise is focused on ‘physical’ science and technology development to solve defence challenges across the full innovation life-cycle, through pre-concept analysis, concept generation, and prototype development.

Pre-Concept analysis
We begin by building deep understanding. Our team integrates operational requirements, contextual relevance, and emerging technology opportunities to deliver informed and actionable statements of need. This foundation ensures that innovation is targeted, relevant, and strategically aligned.

Rapid concept generation
Our multi-industry team brings creativity and rigour to concept development. We assess technology feasibility, explore cost modelling, and conduct operational analysis to challenge and refine emerging ideas. The result: validated concept embodiments that are ready for further development.

Prototype development
We translate concepts into reality through detailed design, fabrication, and testing of looks-like/works-like prototypes. Each prototype is delivered with a clear exploitation roadmap, helping to de-risk your technology and accelerate its path to deployment.
