Defence & Aerospace

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) and its suppliers in the defence and aerospace sector are undergoing unprecedented change.  The Defence Logistics Transformation Programme, the Defence Industrial Strategy and now ‘Enabling Acquisition Change’, led by Tom McKane, all mean that the MOD and the Defence industry are faced with change and challenge on a wide front.

At Hedra, we have worked with the MOD, its agencies and industry to deliver best practice in this new and changing environment.  The MOD now requires ‘through-life capability management’ and customer focus. Meanwhile, industry needs to realise optimal profitability and return on investment in supporting this requirement.  We are skilled at delivering against these imperatives and have built an extensive track record on the industry side as well as with Government.

We have a team of 90 defence specialists, including our Systems Engineering Services group, providing a powerful blend of consultancy and practical delivery services.
