What we do
The threats are accelerating. Roke is the British technology integrator for defence and national security, anticipating what’s next and building the technology and services to help protect our customers in the UK and internationally.
What we do
The spectrum is contested. GPS is jammed. Drones arrive in swarms. A cyber attack needs no uniform and little budget. The solution often lands after the mission has moved. Roke has over 70 years of experience delivering capabilities in the UK and internationally, across defence and national security, with partner organisations and side by side with our customers.
Mission Operations.
Faster decisions. A faster effects cycle.
Software procurement runs slower than operations, so our engineers start next to the operator and see the problem before the requirement is written. We build the digital architecture that turns data into intelligence and links sensors and drones through the chain of command to the point of effect. Then we stay, embedded with defence and national security teams, and working at a pace that keeps our customers ahead of the threat.
Cyber and Secure Communications.
Trusted at the highest classifications.
Cyber warfare needs no uniform and little budget, and the threat shifts weekly. We see it early because we work shoulder to shoulder with the most trusted parts of UK Government, inside the wire. We build and assure the defensive cyber and resilient networks that keep mission systems and critical national infrastructure operating if attacked, and the tools and tradecraft UK Government needs to effect our most sophisticated adversaries. We stay at the operator’s shoulder for as long as the operation runs. Little of it appears on a website. The conversation happens in the room.
Electromagnetic Warfare (EW)
Decades at the spectrum. Pace at the edge.
Adversaries jam, spoof and degrade the signals that command, navigation and communications rely on, and they harden their radios as fast as we counter them. Seven decades across the spectrum lets us see the next move coming. We build Electromagnetic Surveillance (ES), jamming, Electromagnetic Attack (EA) and deception on open, modular architectures, so operators swap hardware and software as the threat moves and kit gets attrited. We integrate where we need to and build from scratch, at pace, where its required.
Operational Technology and Resilient PNT
Working technology at the mission edge.
The edge is where the threat shows first: a denied GPS signal, a drone over a base, a tunnel no operator should enter. Operational technology is Roke’s physical layer; the sensors, payloads and trackers that interface with the real world. Every product is built for mission fit: small, produced at scale, and designed to integrate into the field, with Roke supporting it in service.
