As a Lead System Integrator, DS UK applies its insight, energy and experience to integrate large-scale and previously disparate systems in the most complex environments – extending the capabilities of Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Government and Critical National Infrastructure.

We are a leading partner in the Defence and Global Security markets and a leading UK supplier of Information Assurance services with award winning cryptographic solutions.

Our innovative approach to delivering tailored Lead Systems Integration solutions is demonstrated in our role in the MoD’s Defence Information Infrastructure (Future), and Communities and Local Government’s FiReControl programmes.

Our purpose built facility is the result of significant investment and accommodates over 1000 employees. It houses an array of capabilities being implemented on Programmes such as FiReControl and DII (F).
