Cunning Running Software and Novatech Defence Announce Commercial Partnership to Strengthen UK Defence Planning Capability
Cunning Running Software Ltd (CRSL) and Novatech Defence are pleased to announce a new commercial partnership that will bring advanced geospatial planning and vulnerability assessment capabilities to a wider range of UK defence organisations.
The partnership will see Novatech Defence become an authorised reseller of CRSL’s specialist software portfolio, combining CRSL’s proven operational planning technology with Novatech Defence’s extensive experience of delivering trusted technology solutions across the defence sector.
CRSL’s software supports force protection planning, counter-UAS operations, helicopter landing site assessment, critical asset vulnerability analysis and mission planning. Used by defence, policing and emergency services, the software enables organisations to analyse terrain, understand vulnerabilities and make faster, evidence-based operational decisions.
Working together, CRSL and Novatech Defence will provide customers with access to specialist geospatial decision support tools backed by experienced technical and operational expertise, helping defence organisations improve planning, preparedness and operational effectiveness.
Phil Cowell, Chief Executive Officer of Cunning Running Software, said:
“This partnership is an exciting step for both organisations. Novatech Defence has an excellent reputation for supporting the UK defence community with trusted technology solutions and a deep understanding of its customers’ operational requirements. By combining our specialist software with Novatech Defence’s expertise and customer reach, we can make these capabilities available to more organisations, helping them make better informed decisions in increasingly complex operational environments.”
Tim Jones, Head of Defence at Novatech Defence, said:
“While Novatech has supported Defence for nearly two decades, the team has been grown to better support customers in the primes and end customers. As part of this strategy, building out a partner ecosphere is inherent to that success. We are excited to partner with CRSL in the early stages of this strategy to start to share their solutions into our customer base. “
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering practical, innovative technology that supports defence organisations in responding to evolving operational challenges. By combining complementary expertise, CRSL and Novatech Defence aim to provide customers with enhanced capability, trusted support and a strong foundation for future collaboration.
