However, air forces are in the process of transforming themselves in order to meet the challenges of the new defence environment.
These challenges include the need for
• extended reach to support global deployments
• agility and adaptability to meet emerging and uncertain threats persistence to survey and dominate wide areas of detection
• decision superiority
• and the ability to deliver precise, proportionate and timely effect in order to engage fleeting targets, while avoiding unintended consequences.
In addition, air forces face the major challenge of sustaining their capabilities at an affordable cost.
The insertion of new technology can enhance the capability of current systems, offering solutions to most of these challenges.
However new technology needs to be adopted with care and understanding in order to deliver affordable, low-risk and supportable capability. QinetiQ offers unparalleled understanding of the aerospace domain and how best to exploit technology affordably in order to deliver and sustain capability.
