Defence in 2026: readiness is the defining priority
With the pace and complexity of modern threats reshaping defence sector priorities, Sagentia Defence’s Tom Rasmussen says accelerating innovation to improve warfighter readiness is a unifying theme.
Since its publication in June 2025, the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) has steadily gathered momentum, and it is transforming sector priorities for 2026. The emphasis on warfighter readiness is driving a wider push to improve and accelerate innovation across the systems and technologies that underpin operational advantage.
The need to deliver relevant capability faster, more reliably, and with greater operational flexibility is front of mind for defence leaders. As MOD investment increases, there are higher expectations around outcomes and returns. Today, the focus is shifting beyond what to innovate to also encompass how innovation can be deployed more quickly and integrated more effectively.
