UK’s Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said that the country will spend £40 million for a new Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC), it was announced at the beginning of April.
The centre will be located at MoD Corsham, and the investment in the centre forms part of a wider government plan to transform the MoD's cyber security capabilities. The government plans to invest £1.9 billion over five years for cyber security capabilities under the strategic defence and security review in November 2015.
Fallon said: ‘Britain is a world leader in cyber security but with growing threats this new operations centre will ensure that our armed forces continue to operate securely. Our increasing defence budget means that we can stay ahead of our adversaries in cyberspace while also investing in conventional capabilities.
‘As part of National Cyber Security Centre initiative the CSOC will facilitate the sharing of MoD cyber security challenges across government departments, with allies and with industry. This will act to further strengthen our defences and enable the most efficient working.’
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.

Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
