Level Peaks Associates

What Level Peaks Associates does

Level Peaks Associates is a Hereford, UK-based private defence and security equipment integrator founded in 2005. The company supplies military, policing, and emergency services organisations with integrated operational capability rather than standalone products, combining 300+ third-party component supplier relationships with in-house systems integration, training, R&D, and ongoing engineering support. Its offering is organised across 12 capability areas spanning Soldier Systems, Female Solutions, Survivability, Surveillance and Targeting, Lethality, Emergency Services, Human Performance, Uncrewed Systems, Method of Entry, Maritime Systems, Less-than-lethal options, and NATO Supply.

Core technical capabilities include multi-vendor soldier system integration (exemplified by the Body and Load Carriage System delivered to UK MOD aircrew, which achieved a 25% weight reduction and was contracted three times over 10 years for 2,500+ units), the first autonomous uncrewed aerial target approved for UK MOD use on the Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapon programme, and a diver head-mounted sonar system developed with DSTL. The business holds DAOS, ISO 9001/27001/14001, Cyber Essentials Plus, JOSCAR, ITAR, and CMMC Level 2 accreditations, and was awarded The King's Awards for Enterprise in 2025.

Revenue is generated through enterprise field sales to government and defence procurement authorities (UK DE&S, DSTL, NATO Support and Procurement Agency), NATO framework procurement services, and direct e-commerce sales via levelpeaks.com. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is largely governed by government tender processes. The company markets through proprietary CAPX Capability Expositions, major industry events (SOF Week, Enforce Tac, Security and Policing, Blue Light Show), and a LinkedIn/Instagram presence, targeting decision-makers in UK and international armed forces, police, fire, and ambulance services.
