IN BRIEF: Defence Holdings argues for sovereign digital infrastructure

13th Aug 2025 19:40

Defence Holdings PLC - London-based defence technology platform formerly known as Cassel Capital PLC and Guild Esports PLC - Publishes a whitepaper outlining the strategic importance of sovereign digital infrastructure in modern defence capabilities titled "AI-Native Infrastructure for Modern Defence Operations". The paper aligns with the company's five-year plan and the UK Strategic Defence Review 2025. The paper outlines the risks of over-reliance on foreign-hosted, commercially-managed digital platforms, "particularly in disconnected, degraded, or denied environments". It also describes operational requirements for deploying infrastructure across intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; autonomous systems; digital command environments and influence operations.

Senior Non-Executive Director Andy McCartney says: "This whitepaper sets out not just where the defence sector is going, but where the risks lie if nations don't act. Sovereign control over infrastructure is no longer a strategic luxury. It's a requirement for credible national defence."

Current share price: 0.40 pence, closed up 1.3% on Wednesday
