The UK's military is undergoing changes, with a focus on integrating new technologies and strategies. The Royal Navy is moving forward with plans for uncrewed surface and underwater vehicles, as well as hybrid air wings for carriers. The Littoral Strike concept has also been backed, particularly in the context of operations in the high north.
