  • The Integrated Review and UK Spacepower: the Search for Strategy Dr Bleddyn E
    FREEMAN AIR & SPACE INSTITUTE The Integrated Review and UK Spacepower: The Search for Strategy Dr Bleddyn E. Bowen Paper 3 About the Freeman Air and Space Institute The Freeman Air and Space Institute is an inter‑disciplinary initiative of the School of Security Studies, King’s College London. The Freeman Institute is dedicated to generating original knowledge and understanding of air and space issues. The Freeman Institute seeks to inform scholarly, policy and doctrinal debates in a rapidly evolving strategic environment characterised by transformative technological change which is increasing the complexity of the air and space domains. The Freeman Institute places a priority on identifying, developing and cultivating air and space thinkers in academic and practical contexts, as well as informing, equipping and stimulating relevant air and space education provision at King’s and beyond. The Institute is named after Air Chief Marshal Sir Wilfrid Freeman (1888–1953), who was crucially influential in British air capability development in the late 1930s and during the Second World War, making an important contribution to the Allied victory. He played a central role in the development of successful aircraft including the Spitfire, Lancaster and Mosquito, and in planning the wartime aircraft economy – the largest state‑sponsored industrial venture in British history. FREEMAN AIR & SPACE INSTITUTE The Integrated Review and UK Spacepower: The Search for Strategy Dr Bleddyn E.

  • Integrated Review 2021: Summary
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 9171, 17 March 2021 Integrated Review 2021: By Claire Mills, Louisa Summary Brooke-Holland The Government published its Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy: Global Britain in a Competitive Age, on 16 March 2021. The following briefing highlights the key points of the review. Further House of Commons Library analysis will follow. 1. Prime Minister’s vision for the UK in 2030 In his introduction to the Integrated Review, the Prime Minister sets out his overarching vision for “Global Britain” within the next decade: • The UK will play “a more active part” in sustaining an international order in which open societies and economies continue to flourish. • The UK will sit at the heart of a network of “like minded countries and flexible groupings” committed to protecting human rights and upholding global norms. • The UK will embrace innovation in science and technology to boost national prosperity and strategic advantage. • The UK will be a “soft power” superpower. • The UK will continue to take a leading role in security, diplomacy and development, conflict resolution and poverty reduction. The UK aims to be a model for an integrated approach to tackling global challenges. • As a maritime trading nation, the UK will be a global champion of free and fair trade. The openness of the UK’s economy will be protected from corruption, manipulation, exploitation and the theft of intellectual property. • Climate change and tackling biodiversity loss will be a priority for the UK on the international agenda. • The UK’s diplomatic service, armed forces and security and intelligence services will be the most effective and innovative, relative to their size.

  • Snp Submission to the Integrated Review
    SNP SUBMISSION TO THE INTEGRATED REVIEW The United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union offers a chance for the UK to reflect on its role in the world: its relations with regional and global partners, its global interests and its national goals. As part of this review, HM Government must ensure that it builds consensus beyond the governing party in Westminster, beyond Whitehall and beyond London. It must look to the devolved administrations and to civil society to build a coherent foreign policy that properly represents the values and interests of Scotland and it must ensure that input from all constituent parts of the United Kingdom is given equal merit. The foreign and defence interests of Scotland have been long ignored by the UK Government. This can be seen nowhere more clearly than in the decades-long neglect of the United Kingdom’s own backyard – the North Atlantic and High North – in favour of attempting to project its power and influence globally. The era in which the United Kingdom was able to do so is long gone. Instead, the UK must demonstrate its commitment to regional and neighbourhood security while carving out a place for itself on the world stage through an active commitment to multilateral institutions and international law. At home, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has pushed human and economic security to the fore of UK policymaking, demonstrating the importance of national resilience and reminding us that fully funded public healthcare systems and a strong democracy keep the Scottish people safe from modern threats – not weapons of mass destruction harboured miles from Scotland’s biggest population centre.

The group represents a critical mass of Introduction 3 over 900 experts in 8 institutions that span the full capability of the UK in space, in upstream, downstream, satellite applications and space-enabled businesses. These institutions also offer a variety of relevant training courses Partner expertise 4 and host a wide range of complementary facilities that can support research Aston University 4 and development in both industry and academia. Its importance is recognised by the UK Government, as highlighted in the recent Integrated Review of University of Birmingham 4 Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy and the earlier Industrial Strategy, with the aim of Cranfield University 6 developing a £40 billion UK sector, a significant share of global activity, and 100,000 new jobs by 2030. A National Space Strategy is currently being developed. Keele University 6 To make both expertise and facilities as widely accessible as possible, we have assembled this brochure to University of Leicester 8 provide a one-stop guide, summarising the capabilities of each institution.
