Roke, part of the Chemring Group since its acquisition in 2019, is a leading UK science and engineering company specialising in sensors, communications, cyber‑security and artificial intelligence. As Chemring’s centre of digital and data excellence, Roke plays a pivotal role in advancing the Group’s capabilities in electronic warfare, autonomy and secure information systems. Its work supports government, defence and commercial clients who require cutting‑edge technology to address complex national‑security challenges.
The company’s current portfolio spans electronic warfare systems, advanced sensing, secure communications, data exploitation and AI‑enabled decision‑support tools. As Chemring increasingly focuses on integrated, multi‑domain technologies, Roke provides the digital backbone that underpins many of these programmes. Its teams work across land, sea, air, cyber and space domains, helping customers counter emerging threats and maintain operational advantage in rapidly evolving environments.
Roke emphasises a culture of innovation, technical excellence and continuous learning, supported by Chemring’s wider investment in research, engineering talent and sovereign capability. The company maintains strong links with academia, invests in apprenticeships and graduate pathways, and continues to expand its footprint across the UK. Its role within Chemring strengthens the Group’s ability to deliver high‑assurance, mission‑critical technologies to UK and allied defence customers.
Roke is also a committed supporter of the Armed Forces Covenant, aligning with Chemring Group’s broader pledge to the Armed Forces community. The company publicly states that it values the skills and experience of serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families, and is dedicated to ensuring they face no disadvantage in recruitment or career progression. This commitment reflects both Roke’s and Chemring’s shared values of service, responsibility and supporting those who contribute to national defence and security.
