Innovation and experimentation form the bedrock of Future Soldier. This will be achieved through expanding our relationship with the Defence industry and driving experimentation from within the force.
A new Experimentation and Trials Group, based around the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Yorkshire Regiment and specialist trials and development units, lead on trialling new technologies and integrating them into the way that we will fight and operate.
The British Army Battle Lab opened in 2022 and will, through investment and collaboration with our partners, industry, and allies, enable the early adoption of next generation capabilities. It is part of a joint environment innovation hub known as Defence BattleLab.
The Land Industrial Strategy (LIS) will strengthen our relationship with the Defence industry and unlock the potential of innovation and development.
