Two repurposed marine vessel targets have been successfully delivered and installed at Holbeach Air Weapons Range (AWR) in Lincolnshire, enhancing live weapons training capability for both fixed wing and rotary wing air platforms. The project, delivered through a joint effort between the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), Landmarc and marine and construction specialists Topbond PLC, involved transporting the steel vessels from the River Crouch in Essex along the coastline to Holbeach, with specialist tug support provided from the Netherlands. The targets have been adapted specifically for military use and will support a diverse range of aircraft conducting live and inert weapons training, including pre-deployment preparation.

Recent figures show 43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack in the past year. Research by the AI Security Institute - which the government describes as
