A more lethal Royal Navy: Sharpening Britain’s naval power

This Report is the first to be released by the Council on Geostrategy’s Strategic Advantage Cell. Kindly sponsored by Lockheed Martin, this Cell is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom (UK). It was established to explore how Britain can induce ‘strategic advantage’ – a concept first introduced in the Integrated Review of 2021 – in its foreign and defence policies. This new initiative is pursuing four strands of research: maritime power, hypersonic weapons, space power, and British allies and partners. These themes were chosen due to their topicality and their importance to the UK’s global position in the middle years of the 21st century.
