Labrys Technologies has joined SCEPTRE, the UK Sovereign Technology Stack. Labrys addresses a foundational challenge: as networked and autonomous systems become central to how the UK operates, the ability to verify what is real, who sent it, where it came from, whether it has been altered, becomes the infrastructure layer upon which everything else depends. “The SCEPTRE consortium represents exactly the kind of approach the UK needs — proven sovereign technology companies working together to deliver capability that those on the front line can actually use, at a pace that matters. The next generation of networked and autonomous systems will only be as effective as the verification infrastructure beneath them. Axiom exists to provide that layer — ensuring that when decisions are being made at speed, the information underpinning them is authenticated and the communications carrying them are secure. We’re proud to contribute to that mission.” August Lersten (August L.), CEO of Labrys Technologies Read the full press release here: https://hubs.li/Q04749zq0 #SovereignCapability #DefenceTech #C2 #Innovation #SMEs #IndustrialStrategy #DigitalTargetingWeb | Hadean, 2iC Limited, Vizgard, Kraken Technology Group, Evolve Dynamics, ACUA Ocean

Last week, SCEPTRE partners Evolve Dynamics, ACUA Ocean, Vizgard and Hadean came together for a live experiment in Plymouth. ACUA Ocean’s USV Pioneer was deployed, while Evolve Dynamics’ Sky Mantis 2 UAS conducted coordinated approaches to combine maritime presence with agile aerial capability, with the concept extending to include Vizgard's AI-enabled asset identification with a live feed through 2iC Limited into Hadean's dominAI - a showcase of SCEPTRE's integrated C2 ecosystem and frontline capability. Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.

The reality of modern defence is the innovation life cycle can be as short as a few weeks. Small and medium enterprises like Vizgard are uniquely placed to meet the rapid demands of defence innovation, from AI-enabled camera automation to autonomous systems. It's why the UK is backing homegrown SMEs to deliver at pace. The government's commitment to increasing defence spending with UK SMEs isn't just about national security. It's about nurturing talent, creating skilled jobs, and ensuring British innovation stays at the cutting edge. 👇

“These are the companies which are going to transform how our British Armed Forces will operate in future” - Rt Hon John Healey MP. A bold statement but warranted I feel after learning more about the incredible work the other UK SMEs already delivering at home, abroad and off the planet! SCEPTRE - A UK SME Sovereign Stack, making up 3 out of the 10 and some FortifAI snippets in this video were two welcome surprises to cap off an all round stellar day.

MoD Delivers on SME Commitment as SCEPTRE Is Downselected on DDAD Framework The SCEPTRE consortium has been downselected onto the UK Ministry of Defence’s Digital Decision Accelerators for Defence (DDAD) framework. DDAD is designed to accelerate the adoption of advanced digital decision-making across Defence, and the downselection of SCEPTRE is a clear signal of the MoD’s commitment to sovereign, SME-led capability that can scale at pace.

Brilliant to join Kemi Badenoch at Evolve Dynamics today to launch our £50 Billion Sovereign Defence Fund. A fully costed plan with two top priorities: First, to ramp up the scale and pace of drone tech procurement for the British Armed Forces. Secondly, to ensure that those drones are manufactured in the UK, minimising our dependence on China. This is about using public and private cash to deliver sovereign capability and secure supply chains - above all, boosting the lethality of our military at a time of growing threats.

📢 We’re thrilled to share that Vizgard has been selected to join the NATO DIANA 2026 Challenge Programme cohort! Selected under the Autonomy and Unmanned Systems challenge area, our hybrid edge-to-cloud solution (FortifAI + UnifAI) enables partners to deploy, monitor and continuously improve fleets of AI-enabled autonomous systems at scale across land, air and sea. Over the next six months, we will work closely with DIANA’s global network of experts, mentors and test centres to refine our approach and align it with operational needs. We will also explore DIANA’s Rapid Adoption Service, which enables Allies to trial innovator prototypes in operational settings and, where successful, provides a pathway towards procurement across NATO bodies and the 32 member states. The programme will help us advance technical readiness for this new hybrid concept and support technology validation through access to world-class test centres. We’re looking forward to working with end users, UxV and C-UxV providers to support adoption across NATO and Allied forces.

Great discussion to kick off the Royal United Services Institute Military Technology Conference today. Our CCO, Vladi Shlesman, discussed the challenges of building 'any sensor, any shooter' networks and how Hadean, through the SCEPTRE UK SME Sovereign Stack, is helping to solve them. #DefenceInnovation #DefenceTech #ArtificialIntelligence
