BAE Systems CEO Charles Woodburn warns the UK faces its highest global threat level in his lifetime, calling for urgent, massive defense spending to hit the 3.5% GDP target by 2035. With autonomous weapons poised to enter conflict zones — even among nations without UK-style human control safeguards — and adversaries like Russia and Ukraine mastering drone warfare, the UK must rapidly modernize. BAE unveiled a new uncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft to boost firepower affordably, while stressing manned platforms remain essential. Woodburn also urges swift government direction, praising new Chancellor John Healey for his defense acumen — a vital boost as the nation confronts readiness gaps and economic pressures.
