Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
As a business, we have long employed veterans and reservists, in addition to civilians and we have officially pledged our commitment to supporting Armed Forces personnel into the civilian workforce having signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
Through the official Covenant, we will continue to harness the unique capabilities and skills veterans and reservists acquire through working in the military, particularly experience with technology yet to be used by civilians. Technological innovation in the military is often ahead of the curve – and we will be able to benefit from these advanced skill sets and knowledge, as well as supporting Armed Forces personnel in securing civilian employment.
In addition to employing Armed Forces veterans, we work closely with the defence industry. This includes supporting the British Ministry of Defence and its suppliers on programmes such as Panama, our Modular Autonomous Control Equipment (MACE) route proving and clearing system. The technology allows intelligent UGVs to be operated in both tele-op and autonomous modes up to 2km away in the detection of IEDs
