LONDON, UK: BAE Systems, a UK-based defence, aerospace, and security company, has signed a strategic agreement with Microsoft to utilize its Azure Cloud platform.
The partnership will help BAE to develop complex digital systems for militaries and governments to analyze incoming data. The partnership aims to support faster and easier deployment, development, and management of digital defense capabilities on the cloud.
The agreement will enable BAE to access tools that will help them make sense of highly complex information and maintain the highest levels of security.
BAE has already used an Azure Cloud approach to accelerate the design, development, and testing of a system to deploy new software on an Uncrewed Air Vehicle during flight.
The partnership follows three successful collaborations with Microsoft, including initiatives to enhance real-time tactical naval intelligence and create a digital thread to support the maintenance of maritime platforms. Both companies have also committed to using open architecture digital tools as they develop new technologies together.
