Defence and Security

Mission-ready technology, delivered with security, assurance, and UK sovereignty built in.

Defence and Security

Value Statement

Trusted where reliability and assurance are non-negotiable.

For more than 40 years, Centerprise has supported Defence and National Security organisations with deployable ICT, secure platforms for training, and specialist hardware engineered for demanding environments.

Defence teams operate in conditions defined by urgency, complexity and risk. Technology has to perform consistently, remain supportable, and meet strict security and confidentiality requirements.

Centerprise understands this through longstanding relationships across the British Army, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy, delivering solutions ranging from specialised hardware design to platforms supporting deployed operations and technical training.

Where procurement routes matter, Centerprise simplifies the procurement process via Crown Commercial Service frameworks, including Technology Products and Associated Services 2, TePAS 2.

What we deliver

Capabilities designed for Defence outcomes

From bespoke secure hardware through to virtualised, deployable infrastructure and Defence training platforms, we help teams modernise, deploy, and sustain capability with confidence.

Defence ICT technology

Deployable, integrated ICT for operational commitments

Virtualised infrastructure designed to support multinational and multi-organisational operations, with careful consideration of size, weight and power constraints and support for multiple security domains when needed.

Defence Supply Chain

Supply chain management for large Defence programmes

Secure and scalable supply chain delivery that supports complex rollouts, sustained operations, and consistent device standards across sites and users. Designed to reduce friction across procurement, logistics, configuration and lifecycle support, with traceability and repeatability embedded.

Defence Training

Defence training platforms and managed ICT services

Platforms and services that support technical training at scale, combining common services delivered through cloud platforms with local site delivery where required. Enables consistent learner experiences, controlled access to training environments, and scalable delivery across locations and cohorts.

Defence Assurance

Information assurance aligned to Defence requirements

Support for assurance-led delivery where controls, configuration, and service delivery must stand up to scrutiny and evolving requirements. Includes secure design principles, role-based access controls, encryption aligned to best practice, auditability, and integration with monitoring and logging approaches where required.

Defence Simulation

Solutions for simulation training environments

Technology foundations that support specialist training scenarios, with performance, security, and manageability considered from the outset. Supports modern simulation needs, including high-performance workloads and data-intensive environments, with clear operational control and predictable scaling.

Defence Environment

Customisable IT hardware, engineered for harsh and constrained environments

Design and manufacture of bespoke systems tailored to strict physical constraints and demanding conditions, including devices built to Restricted and Secret standards and tested against relevant Defence standards where required. Engineered for reliability, maintainability and long-term support.

HPE Private Cloud AI

Sovereign private cloud AI, built for secure adoption

When Defence teams need to accelerate AI outcomes while protecting sensitive data, models and intellectual property, a private cloud approach provides the control that public environments cannot.

Centerprise supports adoption through an AI-optimised private cloud experience, designed to start with a focused pilot and scale to multiple use cases as demand grows. Delivered with strong security controls, auditable governance, and a clear path to operationalisation.

Rapid pilots with a clear route to scale

Pre-integrated AI infrastructure and software designed to move from proof of value to production, without rebuilding foundations each time requirements evolve.

Unified access to data, without losing control

Approaches that support access across your wider data estate while keeping sensitive datasets protected and governed, including scenarios where hybrid patterns are preferred.

Confidence and control through security by design

Encryption in transit and at rest, granular access controls, and end-to-end traceability to support assurance needs and reduce operational risk. Integration with logging and monitoring practices can be aligned with your existing security operations model.

Trusted to Deliver

Certified to the highest standards

These standards reflect our commitment to compliance, operational excellence and responsible distribution at scale.

Case Studies

Real Outcomes Delivered Across the Defence Sector

Defence College of Technical Training (DCTT) – MOD Lyneham

Centerprise delivered a fully-fledged learning environment for the DCTT at Lyneham, including a secure private cloud plus community cloud access, VDI, computer-aided instruction classrooms and a vast wireless network supporting about 7,000 data points and 450 wireless access points. 

Royal Navy – Maritime Desktops Programme

Centerprise designed and built over 5,000 bespoke maritime desktops to Restricted and Secret standard for the Royal Navy’s DII-F Maritime programme. The chassis design and component specification were tailored for constrained and harsh environments.
