Modernising Defence Programme
Appearance
The Modernising Defence Programme (MDP) was the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence's strategic initiative in 2018. It aimed to ensure that the UK's armed forces remain capable, adaptable, and ready to deal with emerging global security challenges. This was introduced after the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) in 2015 and against a backdrop of concerns about the adequacy of the UK's defence capabilities in light of evolving geopolitical threats.
