UK and US hit major milestone in development of hypersonic weapons
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-06)

UK hypersonic research, which could see weapons travelling at several thousand miles per hour, has reached a landmark moment after successful completion of a major testing programme.

- UK scientists complete major hypersonic propulsion test, enabled by close collaboration between UK government, industry and US government.
- The propulsion system is set to power a cutting-edge hypersonic cruise missile concept.
- 233 test runs were carried out at a number of hypersonic speeds, marking a critical step forward in UK Defence capabilities.
This research aims to support delivery of a hypersonic weapon technology demonstrator by 2030 through the MOD’s Team Hypersonics (UK) programme. This will provide a transformational capability that delivers operational advantage for the future UK armed forces.

National security is a foundation of this government’s Plan for Change and today’s news comes after the Prime Minister announced the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the end of the Cold War.

A joint team led by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) together with the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and supported by industry partners including UK SME Gas Dynamics Ltd, carried out 233 successful static test runs at the NASA Langley Research Centre in Virginia, USA.

This extensive testing was part of the UK’s Hypersonic Weapons Programme, and took place over six weeks involving real-time data analysis to refine design aspects and boost propulsive performance.

The trial explored several design variations, ensuring the propulsion system’s readiness for future system design updates. The engine is poised to power a cutting-edge hypersonic cruise missile concept and successfully demonstrated the performance of the high-speed air-breathing engine – enabling greater ranges than a conventional rocket - advancing the UK’s hypersonic weapon capabilities.

The tests spanned the full flight Mach number range from supersonic to hypersonic speeds, validating the robustness of the engine design and paving the way for future upgrades.

Defence Secretary, John Healey MP said:

We are living in a more dangerous world and it has never been more important for us to innovate and stay ahead of our adversaries, equipping our forces with the technologies of the future.

This milestone moment on hypersonics research, supported by British scientists and British small businesses, demonstrates another crucial area where we are working in lockstep with the United States to bolster our Armed Forces and strengthen our deterrence.

Dstl’s Chief Executive, Paul Hollinshead said:

This milestone represents a critical advancement in the UK’s defence capabilities and reinforces our standing in the AUKUS hypersonic weapon development collaboration. The success of these tests highlights the UK’s commitment to technological leadership and innovation in this crucial area.

IFM36367 - Disguised fees: Managed Accounts and other parallel structures (from 6 April 2016): Managed accounts
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Managed Accounts

ITA07/S809EZA(7)(a) - (b)

Managed accounts in their simplest form can be thought of as a fund comprising one investor, usually known as the 'managed account investor' providing the capital which is managed by the fund management team. These managed accounts may operate and invest alongside a more mainstream fund vehicle, typically referred to as the 'parent fund' which is managed by the same team. A managed account may resemble a smaller version of the parent fund and may have the same carried interest structure. However, a variety of vehicles can be used to implement such an arrangement.

A common reason for this approach is where an investor has particular requirements which cannot be catered for if it invests in the parent fund vehicle alongside a range of other investors. Such an example would be an institutional investor which may not want to invest in certain industries such as tobacco or alcohol.

Investing through a managed account allows such an investor to decline participation in any investments which fall outside their requirements. This is why on the above diagram most of the fund's investments are also investments made by the managed account, but there is likely to be disconnected investments where the managed account declines to participate.

There may be other reasons for a managed account. It allows the managed account investor to negotiate a separate deal with the fund management team, potentially around carried interest and management fees, which is kept private from other investors. Some managed account investors may also want more control over the investments made, perhaps retaining the right to refuse certain opportunities even if they do not violate any ethical guidelines or, conversely, to take a disproportionately bigger stake in an investment it feels particularly positive about.

SFO announces investigation into $28 million crypto scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-20)

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) launches first major cryptocurrency investigation into suspected fraud.

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) today issued an appeal for investors to come forward with any information they hold about the collapse of a $28 million cryptocurrency scheme called Basis Markets.

The SFO launched an investigation into the suspected fraudulent scheme with two raids in West Yorkshire and London.

Investigators, supported by the Metropolitan Police and West Yorkshire Police, searched properties in Herne Hill and near Bradford, arresting two men, one in his thirties and another in his forties, on suspicion of multiple fraud and money laundering offences.

Basis Markets raised approximately US$28m via two public fundraisers, one in November 2021 via the sale of non-fungible tokens and the other in December 2021, using funds to create a “crypto hedge fund”.

In June 2022 investors were informed that, due to proposed new US regulations, the project could no longer proceed as planned.

This is the first major cryptocurrency case announced by the SFO.

Nick Ephgrave QPM, Director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), said:

With our expanding crypto currency capability and growing expertise in this area, we are determined to pursue anyone who would seek to use cryptocurrency to defraud investors.

Today’s action is an important step in our investigation, and we’re urging anyone with information to come forward and support our enquiries.

Solicitor General Ellie Reeves MP said:

Fraud is a destructive crime, that harms communities and destroys business confidence. Those committing fraud aren’t just taking away from hard-working members of the public but undermining British values of fairness and playing by the rules.

As Solicitor General, I will resolutely support the Serious Fraud Office to tackle the scourge of cryptocurrency fraud and protect consumers. I urge anyone with information to come forward and assist the SFO with their investigations.

Measurement of emissions from brake and tyre wear
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

A research report on developing prototypes to measure brake and tyre wear emissions from road vehicles in real driving conditions.

In February 2021, DfT began a research project to investigate ways in which we can measure and better understand the generation of non-exhaust emissions. This work was carried out in 2 phases.

Phase 1

Released in May 2023, this focused on developing a prototype for brake and tyre wear particle measurement in real driving conditions.

Phase 2

Released in November 2025, this focused on taking the prototypes from phase 1 and testing them on vehicles both in the lab and on the road. A number of factors were explored to better understand their impacts on a non-exhaust emissions generation.

Study findings

The study’s findings improve our understanding of tyre and brake wear emissions and how policy and legislation can be used to control them.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.
