The UK’s 2025 Strategic Defence Review (SDR) signals a seismic shift in how the Ministry of Defence approaches capability development—one that puts autonomy, agility, and sovereign innovation at the core of future force design.
For the UAV industry, this marks a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
From the rise of the Integrated Force model and modular design principles to tiered procurement timelines as short as 3 months, the SDR is clear: the MoD wants uncrewed systems fast—and at scale.
At Rotron Aerospace, we’ve anticipated this shift. Our high-performance rotary propulsion systems, modular UAV architectures, and NATO-compliant software integration are already enabling SMEs and OEMs to deliver SDR-ready solutions across land, sea, and air domains.
But with opportunity comes urgency. Can your platform meet ISR, loitering, and strike needs in an open-architecture future? Are you aligned with digital warfighting standards like the UK’s Digital Targeting Web?

- Key SDR directives affecting UAVs
- Procurement reform and SME enablement
- Platform requirements from the Army, Navy & RAF
- How Rotron Aerospace is shaping the next wave of British UAV leadership
The defence ecosystem is evolving—build faster or fall behind.
