Mtx Solutions: Accelerating Defence Innovation

In a strategic move to bolster the United Kingdom’s defence capabilities, Swift Works Limited and BFO NEXt Limited have launched MTX Solutions, a joint venture that combines unparalleled expertise in embedded systems, mission-critical technology, and high-performance software development. This collaboration aims to address the evolving challenges of the UK’s defence sector by delivering cutting-edge technological solutions.

At the helm are Squadron Leader Robert Slaughter BEng (Hons) CEng FIMechE CMgr MCMI, head of Swift Works, RAF veteran, and graduate of the Empire Test Pilots' School, and Jamie Campbell BSc (Hons), MBA, MBCS CITP, leader of BFO NEXt and former Game Development Service Line Director and Global Head of Innovation at Keywords Studios. This unique blend of technical proficiency and operational insight ensures that MTX Solutions’ offerings are both technologically advanced and practically applicable to real-world defence scenarios. Their teams combine deep technical capability with real-world operational experience—creating a venture engineered to tackle the defence sector’s toughest challenges with speed, agility, and precision.

While details remain confidential, MTX Solutions is already drawing attention and is committed to UK Government Defence Innovation initiatives. Could this be the beginning of a new problem-solving powerhouse in defence technology, from concept to combat ready in rapid timelines? With a presence at DSEI 2025, those watching closely won’t have to wait long to find out.

Rob Slaughter states that “UK defence is a critical point in developing capability to equip its military to ensure ongoing peace and security. A combination of an increasingly uncertain world, more capable adversaries and reduction in Western technology advantage means rapid, novel and dispositive technologies must be fully embraced to deliver operational advantage. UK defence is only as strong as the industry that stands behind them, therefore small enterprises, such as MTX Solutions, are critical to delivering cost effective capability to the war fighter in months, not decades. MTX Solutions are born to deliver on that mandate.”

Jamie Campbell commented: "MTX Solutions stands apart in its ability to drive both technology strategy and execution as enablers of mission success. In collaboration, BFO NEXt and Swift Works bring together deep expertise in embedded systems and high-performance software and an agile, innovation-led approach to rapidly address the evolving needs of UK defence. This partnership is built on shared values, aligned goals, and a commitment to delivering cutting-edge capabilities that enhance operational effectiveness. Together, we are focused on equipping the UK Armed Forces with the technological edge required to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow."
