Why is Space the key to future national security? How does this drive economic security? And how can we avoid a real-life ‘Star Wars’? Hosted by Dr Fiona Jamieson, and featuring Phil Buckley, The PSC’s Digital and Space Director, in our third episode of our ‘Space for Growth’ series we are joined by Peter Death - CGI’s Space, Defence & Intelligence Sector Lead - to discuss the UK’s defence capabilities, the role of space in national security, and how defence-driven technologies fuel economic growth. With the recently-announced increase in defence spending, to 2.7% of GDP by 2027, this has the exciting potential to accelerate growth of the space and satellite sector, e.g. in the production of specialised satellites that enhance surveillance, GPS navigations, and data encryption for military use.
