QinetiQ is set to build a £20 million radio frequency, anti-jamming test facility at the Ministry of Defence’s Boscombe Down site in Wiltshire, UK.

The facility, which is set to open in 2026, will be used to develop UK assets that can perform in harsh electromagnetic environments, and will be large enough to accommodate large military assets such as Protector drones, Chinook helicopters, and F-35 fighter jets.

The testing conducted will enhance the resilience of military equipment, enhancing the safety and security of the Armed Forces and the United Kingdom.
