At QinetiQ, we are proud of our history, which includes extensive experience of flight testing from the early days of crewed flight to the present day. This year marks the 100th anniversary of our first helicopter flight test. On 16 May 1924, the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) in Farnborough, conducted the first outdoor flight test of a helicopter designed by Louis Brennan. Now, a century later, we have a world-class helicopter flight test capability active in testing both military and civilian helicopters.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the 2024 European International Submarine Races at our Haslar site's Ocean Basin, alongside the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST). The races form part of the Institute’s work to promote the importance of the marine sector and to support the development of young people in the STEM industry. This unique sporting challenge involved 11 teams of university students from around the world using their design and technical skills to invent, build, and race human-powered submarines against the clock on an underwater slalom course. Students from the École de Technologie Supérieure in Montreal, Quebec, were crowned this year's champions, recording the competition’s fastest speed of 5.29kts! 🏆 #subracing #eisr2024 #submarineracing #subraces #submarine

“We can’t rely on the external talent market to deliver sufficient numbers of ‘lateral hires’, so we’re building our own skilled workforce” Hear from Cathy Riach (Diener) on how we are investing in the development of Australian Test & Evaluation professionals through our T&E Sovereign Skills Program:
Australia's largest peace-time investment in defence capability is underway. But acquiring new, technologically advanced equipment is only half the battle. To effectively operate and support this new equipment, we need a significant growth in a skilled workforce, especially in Test and Evaluation (T&E). QinetiQ is leading the charge with our T&E Sovereign Skills Program (TESSP). Launched in 2022, TESSP enables Australian professionals to gain hands-on experience in the United Kingdom, working alongside experts and evaluating advanced capabilities like the Royal Navy’s Astute-class submarines. Cathy Riach (Diener), Sector Head of Talent Acquisition at QinetiQ Australia, explains, "We need to continue growing T&E skills in Australia. The TESSP provides accelerated development through real-life experience across air, land, sea, and digital test environments."
