Supply chain security
Procurement
Secure Storage
Secure Storage
UK Battle Factory can discreetly and rapidly procure large quantities of materials and components from trusted sources to ensure supply-chain security and provide substantial cost-effectiveness to MoD and other customers.

Secure Storage
Secure Storage
UK Battle Factory can store large inventories of materials and components in discreet, dispersed storage facilities to protect vital inventory and guarantee ongoing availability during periods of increased tension.
Inventory on-demand
Defence currently holds billions of pounds’ worth of spares.
Even reducing that physical inventory by just 5–15% through digital inventories and on-demand production could conservatively save £118m–£354m annually in carrying costs alone.
A more aggressive approach with sufficient manufacturing capacity could easily push savings closer to £1bn.
That’s before you even count downtime reduction, material efficiency, or sustainability wins.
UK Battle Factory can securely sustain a 'digital inventory' of blueprints for key parts with high replacement rates. These blueprints can be easily modified and upgraded, ensuring ongoing compatibility while reducing waste and logistics costs.
Critical Inventory - direct to the End-User
To simplify logistics further, individual Units are able to procure pre-funded catalogue items directly from UK Battle Factory's BattleStore
Catalogue Items
Units can be allocated tokens to spend in BattleStore, allowing the right equipment in the right quantity to be delivered where it is needed - fast.
Bespoke Items
Using proprietary AI technologies, UK Battle Factory can rapidly assess the complexity of any part and provide instant quotes for production and shipping. With our bespoke 3D design services, we can create or modify any parts and place them in the BattleStore for future orders.
autonomous/unmanned research & assessment (aura)
- Range control services - ensuring congested air/sea space is safely and effectively utilised by end-users
- Single point of contact for national facilities - enabling seamless booking and other administration to substantially reduce the burden on MoD and other site owners
- Niche testing and evaluation services - trialling systems in realistic battlefield conditions
- End-user training - providing the facilities for end-users to train and certify on new platforms.
The crucible
UK Battle Factory is proud to present The Crucible concept.
Located within the UK Battle Factory footprint, The Crucible would provide a flexible and secure location to test and evaluate UxV platforms and payloads in a range of operational conditions.
The Crucible would also provide facilities to train the military end-user community, with classroom, simulator, and real-world test environments - including a large indoor arena with simulated battlefield conditions and an external target vehicle range.
The Crucible would also be licensed to undertake CUAV testing, evaluation, and training in a sterile environment to simplify regulatory compliance.
