The land domain in defence focuses on equipping the army and ground forces with the vehicles, weapons, and technology they need to operate in highly contested environments. This ranges from main battle tanks (like the Challenger 3 upgrade) and armoured fighting vehicles (like Ajax and Boxer) to dismounted soldier systems and tactical communications.
Working in land systems often involves heavy engineering, automotive expertise, survivability testing, and integrating modern digital architecture into ruggedised platforms.
Major Employers
Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL), General Dynamics Land Systems, Babcock, and MBDA (for land-based missile systems) are prominent employers in the UK land sector.
