The deal covers new drones, sensors and AI systems to protect undersea cables and track submarines in the North Atlantic.
The system is called Atlantic Net. It brings together maritime systems, underwater sensing, communications, remote operations and data services under the wider Atlantic Bastion programme.
The investment will support almost 200 new skilled jobs in Hampshire and the supplier's immediate supply chain.
Why it matters
If you supply maritime sensors, autonomous systems or underwater communications, look for subcontracting opportunities in this supply chain.
