 Today, I sit down with Dave Holmes, Managing Director of Falcon Works at BAE Systems FalconWorks, to delve into the innovative frontier of defense technologies that are shaping the future.

In this episode, Dave shares insights on how BAE Systems FalconWorks harnesses the power of partnerships with SMEs, academia, and governments to spearhead developments in uncrewed systems, AI, and sustainability. 

With a strong emphasis on low-carbon and net-zero solutions, Dave explains how these initiatives are not only advancing defense capabilities but are also driving significant environmental considerations.

What makes the UK a fertile ground for these groundbreaking advancements? We explore the synergy between Britain's rich academic landscape and its robust inventor culture which, according to Dave, are integral to BAE Systems FalconWorks' success.

From the importance of autonomy in defense to the potential of trusted autonomy and advanced materials, we cover the gamut of technological innovations that could redefine global defense strategies.

How does BAE Systems FalconWorks plan to maintain its edge in a rapidly evolving tech landscape? What can other sectors learn from their approach to innovation and collaboration? And as we think about the future, what ethical considerations come into play with the deployment of these advanced technologies?
