HMS Defender began a complex ÂŁ68M upkeep, engine replacement and weapons upgrade project in July 2023. She was taken into number 15 dry dock in Portsmouth, the hull was cut open and three new diesel generators inserted as the key work on the Power Improvement Project (PIP)
Ultimately the PIP project aims to achieve 4 out of 6 Type 45s available (not necessarily at sea) by the end of 2025. (Although this is subject to the very challenging project to regenerate HMS Daring. The long period of dormancy, about 9 years without going to sea operationally, makes it much more difficult to bring the ship back into working condition).
Concurrently with PIP, Defender is also undergoing a major upkeep period, the ship has previously been run hard since her last major refit lasting 18 months completed in 2018.
 
Airborne medics have gone underground as they look to apply lessons learnt from the Ukraine conflict, to improve survivability on the battlefield.
From using cellars to quad bikes to respond to the challenge of operating under drones, 16 Medical Regiment worked on making itself harder to detect.
