Expleo的海军副总裁Jonathan Taylor和运营总监Seamus Brogan回应了这个问题UK Government’s Integrated Reviewof Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy.
期待已久的政府对英国国防部门的审查没有让人失望。对于国防供应链中的工程公司来说，他们已经接受了快速技术变革的趋势，有很多值得鼓励的地方。数字化进程将从根本上改变我们的社会、经济和国与国之间的关系——政府已经清楚地认识到科学技术在全球舞台上作为一种软实力的潜力。
From our perspective at Expleo, there were a number of eye-catching takeaways. For example, the strengthening of the National Cyber Force to “detect, disrupt and deter adversaries” is a welcome move. The key to发展网络能力超越了工具和技术。可视化和分析可能的威胁同样重要。
评论指出，无论是在战斗领域还是在工业等非传统威胁领域，威胁的性质都在迅速变化。主权国家对银行、医院、工厂或学校的攻击现在处于外国侵略的保护伞之下。了解每一个威胁是什么样子对于知道如何阻止它是至关重要的。作为回应，英国正在建立一个网络英才中心，以协调其国防战略。来自其他行业（如汽车行业）的交叉融合经验将提供一种能力注入。乐动棋牌
Compress lead times
The creation of the Office for Artificial Intelligence is another exciting development. How the UK adopts AI and other digital tools such as机器人过程自动化（RPA）将证明有助于实现政府保持“科技超级大国”的愿望。自动化人类所需的工具和技术可以缩短项目生命周期，帮助我们的英国基础设施变得更有效率，但也允许员工专注于更具价值驱动和回报的任务。人工智能可以通过提高质量、缩短交货期和引入与数字孪生等技术更大的并发性来降低成本。
Again, the defence industry is lagging behind others in this space – however the potential for rapid improvement is absolutely within reach. Expleo’s own work onRPA工具for tier one partners has shown that processes are achieved significantly quicker and in a more cost-effective way. Pulling this technology over from other sectors would offer speed to value.
Shipbuilding is another area to feel heartened by in the Review, which emphasises a pipeline of opportunities through to 2050, bringing longevity to those working in the supply chain. Six new next-generation Type 32 frigates are mentioned explicitly. The report also signposts an increased capacity to export ships – something the UK has backed off from in the last 20 years. How will this review dovetail with the forthcoming review of the National Shipbuilding Strategy? Again, the current signs are reassuring.
Significant boost
Where else? The Review gives considerable backing for clean energy technologies that will support the UK and the world in reaching carbon zero. Developers of propulsion technologies and energy-saving technology are likely to be winners as a result. The confirmation of Space Command and the ability to launch British satellites from the UK by 2022 is another impetus for the science and technology sector.
总的来说，这项审查对英国政府及其支持行业来说是一个积极的进步。把科技作为带来创新、提高生产力和社会脱碳的一种手段，让人耳目一新。乐动棋牌
The Ministry of Defence is on a digital journey that is flowing concurrently with our own at Expleo. We are on the same page, in terms of investing money into AI, blockchain and cybersecurity. Our own business strategies are in line with Government policy, which is a source of confidence for the future.
