Rolls-Royce announced that it secured the largest defense contract in its history, a £9 billion agreement from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to manage the development and maintenance of nuclear reactors for the Royal Navy’s submarine fleet.

This eight-year agreement known as the Unity contract,  unifies research, design, manufacturing, and maintenance, among other aspects of the submarine program.

The Royal Navy’s current submarine fleet as well as the building and commissioning of the new Dreadnought-class submarines will be supported by the Unity contract.

The SSN-AUKUS program, a trilateral defense initiative between the US, UK, and Australia to develop nuclear-powered attack submarines, is also included in its early stages.  Its objectives include improving efficiency, streamlining operations, and consistently supporting the Royal Navy’s submarines.

Rolls-Royce Submarines will add 1,000 new jobs because of this project, a boost for the UK economy. Derby will be home to most of these positions, but there will also be an increase in Glasgow and Cardiff offices.

The UK’s nuclear expertise is expected to be improved by the Unity contract. This is essential since there is an increasing need for these abilities in the military and the general public.

Rolls-Royce emphasized how crucial it is to nurture homegrown talent. The contract will boost long-term resilience and fortify the UK nuclear industry. The UK supply chain will gain from the contract because most suppliers are based there.
