Equipment, support and technology for UK defence and security
Dated February 2012. Summary of responses to Green Paper published December 2010 (Cm. 7989, ISBN 9780101798921), published alongside the White paper 'National security through technology' (Cm. 8278, ISBN 9780101827829)
National security through technology
This White Paper, divided into two parts, lays out the Government's policy objectives in relation to "National Security through Technology", particularly in relation to technology, equipment, and support for UK defence and security. Part 1: UK Defence and Security Procurement - sets out the Government's aims for the procurement of technology, equipment and support to meet the UK's defence and security needs; Part 2: The UK Defence and Security Industry - looks at the wider UK perspective, including growth, skills, and emerging sectors, within the context of defence and security procurement policy and at government action to encourage UK-based companies to fulfil defence requirements here and develop successful exports. The publication follows up and develops themes and issues raised in the Green Paper "Equipment, support and technology for UK defence and security: consultation paper" (Cm.7989, ISBN 9780101798921, published December 2010). A second publication, published alongside this White Paper, Cm. 8277 (ISBN 9780101827720), contains the Government's responses to the original Green Paper.
Transformational Government
This document sets out the strategy to transform the business of government through increased and better use of technology.

Equipment, support and technology for UK defence and security
This Green Paper looks at the procurement of equipment, support, and technology for UK defence and security and follows on from the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) (ISBN 9780101794824), published on the 19th October 2010. The UK today faces a different and more complex range of threats than last century. The most serious threats include international terrorism, hostile attacks upon UK cyberspace, a major natural hazard or an international military crisis. Therefore the Government needs access to critical technologies and skills to underpin the UK's national security and to achieve these by setting out clear plans covering the following areas: (i) acquiring the equipment needed; (ii) support for the equipment and its users; (iii) investing or acquiring the necessary technologies to secure these objectives both now and in the future. This consultation paper and the responses it receives will form part of a White Paper to be published in 2011.
