Head of the UK’s Defence and Security Organisation, Stephen Phipson, has visited Japan to encourage industrial cooperation in defence and security, according to a press release issued on 6 November.
British firms are seeking industry-led partnerships with Japanese counterparts in submarine optronics masts, sensors, flying training technologies, air and maritime engine technology and cyber security.
Phipson said: “[British and Japanese] companies have many complementary technologies and I believe there are significant opportunities for us to explore joint UK and Japanese exports to third countries”.
