"The British government will invest £1.1 billion in the country’s defense capabilities, particularly regarding new threats to national security from “unseen enemies,” Prime Minister David Cameron announced Monday.
In his address at the Farnborough International Airshow, where civil and military aerospace giants vie for orders, Cameron said £800 million will be invested in an intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance package that will extend the range and flexibility of the UK’s options in responding to the threat of global terrorism and hostage taking.
An additional £300 million will go towards existing capabilities, including a new E-Scan radar for the RAF Typhoon fighter aircraft and the purchase of the HMS Protector, ice patrol ship.
...
Cameron also announced that a UK Defense Solutions Center will be established to bring together industry, with support from government, to develop the new defense technologies of the future, identify future market opportunities and work together to ensure they have the products and solutions that will be in demand. The UK government said the defense market is estimated to be worth around £82 billion a year through 2022.
In addition, Cameron launched a £4 million UK Center for Maritime Intelligent Systems based in Portsmouth. Government, industry and the Local Enterprise Partnership will bring together academics, scientists, engineers and naval specialists to develop cutting-edge technology for use in autonomous unmanned boats, submarines or other vessels.
...
The investment in the Ministry of Defense (MoD) comes after a protracted period of budgetary cuts and frugality. As the United Kingdom does not have a Department of Homeland Security like the United States and a growing number of Asian and African countries, homeland security capabilities are shouldered by a combination of the Home Office, MI5, MI6 and the MoD.
On the morning of the Prime Minster’s announcement, he wrote exclusively for the The Telegraph that “we cannot defend the realm from the White Cliffs of Dover. Terrorist plots hatched thousands of miles away threaten to cause harm on our streets. When fragile and lawless states fracture, migration flows can affect us right here.” "
