UK Defence Investment Plan 2026: GBP8.6bn over four years for GCAP, plus major counter-UAS spend to reshape RAF capabilities The UK’s Defence Investment Plan 2026 commits an estimated GBP8.6 billion over four years for GCAP design and development, positioning the tri-national combat air program as a central “winner.” The package also targets tens of billions of pounds for an RAF built around manned fighters integrated with autonomous platforms, AI and advanced air defence, including roughly GBP1.8 billion for counter-UAS systems. Offsets include delays and early retirements, with helicopter and intelligence-gathering fleet reductions as some missions shift to uncrewed capabilities.

Honeywell Aerospace CEO Jim Currier: AI is ready to generate blueprints, but not flight-ready for cockpit decision-making Honeywell Aerospace CEO Jim Currier says today’s AI can already support engineering workflows by generating “blueprints,” but remains too immature for cockpit use. Leading an independent Honeywell Aerospace, Currier frames AI adoption as a staged capability build-out aligned with defense and aviation operational demands.

#SpaceWatchGl Opinion: ISOS4I as Europe’s autonomous in-orbit servicing enabler for space resilience The #SpaceWatchGl opinion argues that ISOS4I could become Europe’s “active operational element” for space resilience by enabling autonomous in-orbit servicing. It also highlights that major technical hurdles remain before such capabilities can be fielded, despite the resilience benefits envisioned for on-orbit assets.
