英国政府10月30日说,12家乌克兰无人机制造商在索尔兹伯里平原的拉克希尔驻军向英国工业界、投资者和军方官员展示了经实战检验的无人系统,寻求加速两国在无人机领域的合作、联合开发和投资。
展示涵盖情报、监视与侦察、自主系统等无人机能力。英国政府说,这次活动是落实英乌「百年伙伴关系」的具体一步,为乌克兰国防部门开放英国国防部的支持;乌克兰防务公司正在英国扩张,壮大两国的工业基础。
武装部队大臣路易丝·桑德赫-琼斯(Louise Sandher-Jones)说,乌克兰的安全就是欧洲的安全,英国政府支持英乌两国军方和工业界合作,希望两国企业和创新者共同建造、共同投资、共同成功。
无人系统中心副主任斯图·纳斯准将(Brigadier Stu Nasse)说,展示旨在把创新变成行动,把乌克兰公司与英国制造商、投资者和防务界连接起来,加速能增强两国安全的技术开发与交付;乌克兰的一条重要经验是,政府、工业界和军方必须更早、更紧密地合作,才能跟上快速演变的威胁。
UK: 12 Ukrainian Drone Makers Showcase Battle-Proven Systems to British Industry
Twelve Ukrainian drone manufacturers showcased combat-ready uncrewed systems to UK industry, investors and military officials at Larkhill Garrison on Salisbury Plain, the UK government said on October 30, in an event to accelerate collaboration, co-development and investment in uncrewed aerial systems.
The demonstrations covered intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, autonomous systems and other emerging capabilities. The government said the showcase puts into practice the UK-Ukraine 100 Year Partnership, opening up Ministry of Defence support to Ukraine's defence sector, and that Ukrainian defence companies are expanding in the UK, strengthening both nations' industrial bases.
Minister for the Armed Forces Louise Sandher-Jones said Ukraine's security is Europe's security, and that the UK government is backing British and Ukrainian collaboration across the armed forces and industry, wanting businesses and innovators from both countries to build, invest and succeed together.
Brigadier Stu Nasse, deputy head of the Uncrewed Systems Centre, said the showcase is about turning innovation into action by connecting Ukrainian companies with UK manufacturers, investors and defence stakeholders, and that a key lesson from Ukraine is that government, industry and the military must work together earlier and more closely to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats.
