Welcome back to Season 2 of ‘Defence Talks: Securing UK Advantage’.
In Episode 14, Viktorija Starych-Samuolienė, our Co-founder (Strategy), and Paul Mason, journalist, author and our Adjunct Fellow, are joined by Richard Berthon, Director Future Combat Air in the United Kingdom (UK) at the Ministry of Defence, and Herman Claesen, Managing Director, Future Combat Air Systems at BAE Systems.
The discussion explores the future of combat air in the UK, with the perspectives of both government and industry. We outline the difference between the UK’s Future Combat Air System and Global Combat Air Programme, with a focus on their respective capabilities and their contribution to the UK’s overall defence and security. The episode will also examine the delivery of future flight capability, the key milestones achieved so far, and the de-risking and future-proofing of the UK’s military capabilities.
