TWI is one of a number of organisations to join the Hypersonic Technologies and Capability Development Framework (HTCDF) to develop a sovereign hypersonic strike capability for the UK.
AIRTO member TWI are one of ninety organisations drawn from industry and academia by the MOD’s Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) for the £1 billion initiative. This means that TWI are now able to bid for contracts as part of an eight-lot framework over the next seven years.
The framework is due to operate rapidly to adopt mechanisms that align procurement with development activities to increase the pace of capability acquisition with an agile route to market as part of a broader drive across the MOD to increase the speed of defence procurement.
