MTX Solutions combines elite operational expertise with world-class experience in high-performance product development and innovation, including highly optimised embedded system, including AI. Our Defence Technology as a Service (DefTaaS) model harnesses the UK's leading Subject Matter Experts and Academia to rapidly deliver agile, secure, and mission-critical technology solutions, ensuring the UK Armed Forces retain a decisive operational advantage at pace.
Our approach is pragmatic and delivery-driven: rapid prototyping, mission-led design, and real-world validation, all in close partnership with users. Unlike traditional primes, we’re fast, adaptable, and uncompromising—ensuring cutting-edge technologies don’t get stuck in the lab, but are integrated, tested, and deployed where they matter most. Whether enhancing situational awareness, enabling autonomy, or accelerating decision-making, we deliver technology that’s not just new—but genuinely useful at the frontline.
What is DefTaaS?
Defence Technology as a Service (DefTaaS) is a modern business model that provides clients with flexible access to high-value technical expertise—especially in areas where in-house capabilities are limited or non-existent. Unlike traditional procurement, which often relies on building and maintaining permanent teams, DefTaaS allows clients to convert fixed costs into variable costs: you only pay for the expertise you need, when you need it.
Inspired by proven models in adjacent sectors, DefTaaS allows the public and private sector partners to tap into a distributed ecosystem of domain-aware technical talent—on demand and without long-term overheads. This approach is especially suited to emerging and experimental technology domains where agility, cost control, and rapid iteration are critical.
DefTaaS covers the full lifecycle of defence technology development: from R&D and prototyping to deployment and operational support. It supports both traditional and digital modernisation programmes, bridging the gap between defence requirements and fast-moving technology innovation.
Why MTX?
Access to World Class Facilities
We collaborate directly with the leading industry and academia, including the UK's leading AI Centre of Excellence at the Hartree Centre, known for being a national powerhouse in high-performance computing and AI. This gives MTX Solutions—and by extension, our clients—privileged access to cutting-edge tools that will deliver operational advantage.
Operational Expertise
Rob brings the rare pedigree of an RAF Officer Veteran, Test Pilot School graduate and Chartered Fellow Engineer, with hands-on experience of connecting, developing and testing advanced combat air platforms and weaponry.
AI Edge Optimised Solutions
Jamie’s legacy of AI optimisation for gaming consoles—where milliseconds matter—translates directly to the edge demands of modern defence. We bring real-time, low-power, highly efficient AI to environments where size, weight, and power (SWaP) are non-negotiable. It’s AI with a warfighter mindset: responsive, robust, and ready.
Agile and Scalable
We move faster, pivot quicker, and tailor solutions directly to your evolving mission needs. While the primes are still scheduling meetings, we’re already prototyping, offering true value for money and rapid, scalable delivery without the red tape.
