Oaklin AssessmentAI · nightly

Operational signal
UK defence spend remains concentrated among five primes (£3.4bn of £6.19bn, HHI 843), with four sole-source niche categories.
Industrial implication
Clients should prioritise resilience and second-source strategies for critical single-supplier capabilities like missile refurbishment and reactor support.
