Meet with UDSS at DSEI 2023

Universal Defence and Security Solutions will be exhibiting at DSEI and our team will be onsite to showcase our services as a global provider of defence and security advice, assistance, and solutions.  

Book a meeting now and head to the ADS Pavilion at Stand H2-682 and discover how our Professional Military Education, Space, Data and Cyber solutions can support your country, government or defence force. 

Our Professional Military Education (PME) team will be on-site to discuss how the ability to effectively utilise a military force extends far beyond merely the employment of people and equipment. Essential components such as infrastructure, logistics, command and control, organisation, and support, as well as essential training, doctrine, and education, must be factored into the equation. At UDSS, we understand the need to turn these individual components into a potent, cohesive capability. 

Our Expertise 

The UK enjoys a global reputation as a trailblazer in the development of doctrine, as well as the training and education of armed forces’ personnel. Indeed, over 65% of the United Nations' member states receive some form of doctrine support and/or education and training from the UK. At UDSS, we bring this expertise to governments looking to outsource their Professional Military Education (PME) and doctrine challenges. 

Our team, led by Vice Admiral Duncan Potts CB, is composed of highly experienced professionals who have commanded colleges, led doctrine development centres, designed courses, and mentored strategic leaders across various ranks. Our membership includes accomplished strategic thinkers, educators, and practitioners who have held operational and strategic roles. 

Our Services 

We recognise that each of our clients has unique needs. To this end, we offer a bespoke approach to our doctrine and education services, tailoring our offerings to address specific focus areas, such as environmental or regional dynamics. We can base our services on UK, US, or NATO doctrine and practices, and our offerings range from individual speakers and advisors to comprehensive module or course delivery. 

Our broad areas of expertise include: 

  • Strategic Education and Thinking
  • Warfare in the Information Age
  • Doctrine 
  • The Business of Defence 
  • Operations 
  • Environmental Expertise 
  • Leadership 
  • Course Support
  • Assurance 
  • Train the Trainer 

Let's Collaborate 

As you plan for success in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, we invite you to consider the crucial role that PME plays. Reach out to us at UDSS to discuss how we can assist with your specific PME and doctrine challenges. Together, we can build a military force that is ready for the future.
