The Defence Investment Plan has allocated a total investment of £2.5 billion over the next four years to sustain and develop the new Defence Cyber & Electromagnetic Force (DCEMF).
Work continues to scale capability and workforce, including the stand-up of new venture teams to establish several new-to-Defence capabilities, including the nucleus of a Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Centre, as DCEMF matures.
