<p>Our refreshed Defence Industrial Policy, published in December 2017, sets out our
commitment to encouraging a thriving and globally competitive UK defence sector. The
Ministry of Defence keeps its approach under constant review to ensure that the implementation
and impact of our policies remain effective. We have decided in the past to adopt
alternative approaches in specific areas, as we have done in Shipbuilding and Combat
Air, and we continually assess our approach to other sectors to determine whether
we need to develop separate strategies. Our approach to the Land sector is no different.
Last year the Army launched the Army Industrial Engagement Framework which defined
how the Army will develop a more cohesive and effective relationship with industry
throughout the procurement and development process. The refreshed Defence Industrial
Policy from 2017 remains the overarching policy document which describes our approach
to industry more broadly.</p>
