UK MOD Awards Over £2 Million to PYRAMID Programme to Modernise Avionics and Mission Systems
The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) has announced that its PYRAMID programme — full name: Rapid Adaptability for Avionics Systems — has secured more than £2 million in funding to support the widespread adoption and upgrading of avionics and mission systems across defence platforms.
What Is PYRAMID?
PYRAMID is a key MOD initiative designed to enhance the rapid adaptability of avionics systems, enabling defence platforms to integrate emerging technologies more flexibly while reducing the time and cost associated with system upgrades. The programme provides a common architectural framework that industry partners can adopt to streamline development and integration work.
How the Funding Will Be Used
The £2 million-plus investment will be directed at supporting industry partners in adopting the PYRAMID architecture for avionics and mission system research, development, and integration. This is expected to strengthen the technological competitiveness of the UK defence industrial base and accelerate the deployment of advanced systems on military platforms.
Industry Impact
The funding is anticipated to stimulate growth across the UK defence technology ecosystem, encouraging both SMEs and major defence primes to participate in the programme and bringing innovative technologies to operational use more rapidly.
