Viking Arms Defence joins Make UK Defence

March 2, 2026

Viking Arms Defence is proud to announce that we have joined Make UK Defence, the UK’s member-owned, not-for-profit defence trade association within Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation. 

The UK defence and security landscape is moving fast, with an increasing focus on resilience, supply chain strength, and getting proven capability into the hands of those who need it. By joining Make UK Defence, we’re backing a network that champions the UK’s innovative defence supply chain and helps members navigate complex defence ecosystems and opportunities. 

What Viking Arms Defence brings

Our Police & Military Division supports government customers through:

  • Direct supply to UK and allied police and defence end users

  • Training and user education to help teams get the best from the equipment they rely on

  • Operator feedback loops that help inform product improvement and development

  • Support at every scale from urgent single-item requirements to major tenders

We’re focused on practical outcomes: reliable kit, informed users, and responsive support.

What we hope to do through Make UK Defence

Membership strengthens our ability to:

  • Collaborate with peers across the UK defence industrial base

  • Engage with policy, programmes, and sector initiatives that support UK capability 

  • Share insight from end users to help manufacturers align design with operational realities

We’re looking forward to contributing to the Make UK Defence community and building new partnerships that support the people who serve while strengthening UK defence capability.
