BAE SYSTEMS UNVEILS NEW RESEARCH FACILITY TO ACCELERATE CUTTING-EDGE COMBAT AIR CAPABILITY

BAE Systems has launched a new division within its Air Sector called FalconWorks™. FalconWorks will focus on generating ideas, innovation and collaboration – working with new and existing partners, academia, research organisations, SMEs and national governments to deliver rapid conception of new products and services needed by air force customers to maintain their edge.

Governments around the world are acutely aware of the increasing pace of technological change and the need to strengthen and adapt their security and defence to manage the evolving threat. Specialists at FalconWorks will assess emerging trends and deliver solutions with speed and efficiency, increasing the use of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum sensing and robotics. They will also collaborate with partners in areas such as autonomy, synthetic environments and electrically powered air systems.

"Defending our freedoms is becoming ever more unpredictable – the only constant is change. The creation of FalconWorks is a reflection of the changing environment and our goal to ensure innovative technology development is at the core of everything we do. This new division builds on our established expertise in world-leading combat air programmes such as Typhoon, F-35 and Tempest to unlock opportunities to expand our portfolio and deliver the breakthrough technologies which keep our customers ahead," says Dave Holmes, Managing Director of FalconWorks at BAE Systems.

Accelerating possibilities
FalconWorks™ will deliver a long-term customer-centric approach to R&D investments; horizon scanning to identify new capabilities and innovation initiatives that focus on what comes next and also provide the capabilities our customers need today to maintain competitive advantage.
