A £16 million programme to boost small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) defence innovation has been launched today.
With the innovation of SMEs, the resources of big suppliers and initial funding from government, DTEP is designed to bring the key components together to allow pioneering projects to flourish.
The aim is to keep the UK at the forefront of defence technology, improving the capabilities available to our armed forces, and providing some of these to the global market.
