Defence and national security
YAVA is a technology delivery and integration partner on defence and national-security programmes: sourcing, integrating and supporting systems and equipment, under export-control and compliance requirements.
Defence primes, security operators and government security organisations.
The environment
What this setting is like.
Defence and national-security requirements often sit inside larger tenders and programmes that need a delivery partner able to source, integrate and support technology under strict compliance. YAVA works as that engineering partner, including in co-delivery and white-label arrangements.
This work is bound by compliance and export control. We present YAVA as a professional engineering and integration partner, and deliver within the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Operational and technical challenges
Where it goes wrong.
- Technology requirements inside tenders that need a delivery partner
- Sourcing and integrating equipment under export control
- Systems that must be supported in demanding environments
- Compliance and vetting requirements
Systems we work on
What YAVA can assess, design, integrate, build or support.
The mix depends on the asset. YAVA is an integrator, not a single-product vendor, and selects equipment against the requirement from a vetted supplier network.
- Technology sourcing through vetted suppliers
- Surveillance and mobility integration
- Command, control and communications integration
- Secure communications and networks
- Field deployment and support

What we bring to this sector.
How YAVA delivers
Delivery.
We support bids with a credible technical answer, then source, integrate and support the technology under the required compliance and export-control regime. We work with experienced former military personnel who understand the operating environment.
Advice, build, integration, deployment and support come from one team, so there is a single point of accountability for the whole environment.
