Robotics In The Defence Sector
Robotics in the Defence Sector
The UK Defence sector is investing heavily in advanced technologies to strengthen capability and resilience. With the MOD’s Defence and Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS) and programmes like Project TAMPA driving change, the adoption of industrial robots is accelerating across the supply chain.
The Role of Robotics in Defence
Industrial robotic systems are transforming how Defence manufacturers design, build, and deliver components. Unlike traditional CNC machinery, robots offer a unique combination of flexibility, cost-efficiency, and adaptability. A single robotic cell can be reprogrammed to handle multiple operations – from machining and drilling to trimming and Large Format 3D printing – making it possible to respond quickly to new requirements while maintaining production resilience.

CNC Robotics: Trusted Integration Partner
CNC Robotics is the UK’s leading integrator of robotic machining and large-format 3D printing systems. We specialise in building bespoke robotic solutions that address the unique challenges of Defence manufacturing, whether that’s producing tooling and moulds, machining composites, or enabling new additive manufacturing capabilities.
Our systems are backed by ISO certification, Cyber Essentials accreditation, SafeContractor approval, and UKCA compliance. As a proud member of Make UK Defence, we are aligned with the sector’s drive for capability, resilience, and innovation.
Defence Applications for Industrial Robots
CNC Robotics systems are already helping Defence suppliers to:
- Machine lightweight composites for aerospace and military platforms.
- 3D print large-format moulds, fixtures, and tooling to cut lead times and reduce material waste.
- Automate high-precision trimming and finishing of composite parts.
- Support rapid prototyping and innovation through robotic additive manufacturing.
By adopting robotics in Defence manufacturing, suppliers gain agility, precision, and the ability to scale production while reducing cost and waste.
