Boris Johnson has ordered a drone-led overhaul of the UKs outdated defence and security system

He will announce Britains biggest defence revamp at this weeks Nato summit in London.

And he will tell leaders the 70-year-old alliance needs modernising rather than abandoning.

He has ordered an investigation into ways in which cyber warfare or tech attacks using tiny devices could threaten national security.

Security forces are hampered by outdated laws written before modern technologies were developed.

Terrorist groups exploit legal loopholes.

The PM wants smarter use of outside experts and aims to change the procurement methods used by the forces, MI5, MI6 and the GCHQ listening centre.

Other changes will include improving collaboration with tech giants.

Mr Johnson said: Well undertake the deepest review of Britains security, defence, and foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.

Unlike normal defence reviews ours will extend from the armed forces to intelligence services and counter-terrorism.
