Engineering defence advantage
Rapidly developing technology to outpace emerging threats
Engineering agile, adaptable, autonomous defence capabilities that deliver strategic advantage and mission readiness in months rather than years.
The future of defence - agile, adaptable, attritable, autonomous
Defence is evolving rapidly, transforming how capabilities are developed, procured, and deployed. Traditional design and manufacturing can no longer match the speed of emerging threats and technological advances. Equipment must move from concept to combat-ready in months, not years.
- Adaptability is critical as operational conditions progress quickly. Flexible, interoperable systems must swiftly repurpose to counter new threats and tactics. Rapid upgrades and adjustments ensure capabilities remain versatile, resilient, and immediately deployable.
- Attritable assets mark a strategic shift, enabling cost-effective, expendable systems that overwhelm adversaries through volume. By reshaping defence economics, these assets redefine strategic planning and operational tactics, creating significant advantages.
- Autonomy is a powerful force multiplier, enhancing operational effectiveness and reducing human risk. However, autonomous systems require sophisticated oversight and control mechanisms. Effective management is essential to maximising autonomy's potential without compromising command integrity.
- Sovereign, resilient supply chains minimise vulnerability and ensure continuity, particularly in sensitive areas like space. Reducing dependence on external suppliers strengthens strategic independence and national stability.
Our approach - engineering for rapid advantage
TTP moves at the speed of evolving defence needs. Our agile teams and advanced facilities mobilise quickly, adapting to shifting demands as they arise.
We specialise in complex systems engineering, designing solutions that anticipate and accommodate change throughout their lifecycle. By embedding flexibility and interoperability from the start, we ensure your systems remain effective and mission-ready regardless of future developments.
Rapid value engineering is at our core. Leveraging cross-sector expertise, we identify mission-critical performance and deliver swiftly and cost-effectively. Our pragmatic approach achieves maximum operational impact without inflating budgets or compromising capability.
As pioneers in AI innovation, we transform cutting-edge technologies into secure, reliable realities. We integrate diverse sensing modalities, ensuring AI-enhanced systems remain resilient and under assured human control.
Designing for manufacture, supply-chain resilience and production flexibility is second nature, embedding strategic robustness without compromising your control of IP.
With TTP, responsiveness, adaptability, and strategic autonomy aren’t aspirations - they're engineered in from day one.
By leveraging TTP’s expertise, deeply embedded into a collaborative team alongside our tactical communications experts and seasoned military specialists, we have been able to deliver a product which offers a step-change in capability for end users within an extremely rapid time frame.

Understanding the unique conditions presented by the harsh environment at sea, we partnered with TTP and SpaceCom to develop ELMA and deliver the reliable, resilient satellite communications capabilities that mariners need and expect from Viasat Government Services. Leveraging the exceptional capabilities of TTP to provide systems engineering along with SpaceCom’s proven capabilities in antenna development and integration of L-band systems, ELMA is the first of its kind L-band system, revolutionizing the capabilities of the Viasat ELERA network.

Sr. Director, Product Development & Engineering at Viasat Government Services
LEO satellites have typically been limited in their ability to send data to Earth, only able to connect when orbiting past a ground terminal. SSTL are excited to be part of this innovation in space technology with TTP, jointly developing the data relay Inter Satellite Link (ISL) in the UK that can constantly and reliably provide a connection with Earth, via GEO satellites to enable on demand tasking and quick access to data in an accelerating world.
