Babcock International Group has established the ARMOR Force Framework, an ecosystem designed to deliver Hybrid Navy capabilities. Seven technology and defence partners, including Exail, Hensoldt, and Thales, have joined the framework, bringing expertise in autonomous platforms, sensors, and mission systems. This initiative aims to integrate crewed, lean-crewed, and uncrewed systems into a common operating environment, providing navies with a single point of accountability for adopting advanced maritime technology.
