“This is a worldwide project and the largest in the United Kingdom in advanced manufacturing and, therefore, we have organizations like Thales, Rolls Royce, Airbus who also advises us,” he said.

Berry said the manufacturing sector in the United Kingdom alone has tens of billions of pounds.

“If we could become an important contributor to make these systems safer, there will be many export opportunities, who knows where it could go?” He added.
