The British government has granted a £285 million contract to BAE Systems to enhance the Royal Navy’s combat systems.
The upgrades aim to improve the navy’s ability to detect, assess, and respond to threats during combat situations.
This announcement comes shortly after a Russian spy vessel was spotted in the English Channel. The government is prioritizing strengthened countermeasures against covert activities by Russian ships and aircraft, with a particular focus on safeguarding undersea communication cables.
