Wealth of experience

Our team of research specialists have a wealth of experience in model experimentation, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis and the development and exploitation of empirical and semi-empirical methods.

This extensive knowledge helps to ensure a thorough understanding of all the relevant performance factors to deliver a viable, safe and cost effective design outcome for defence and commercial maritime customers.

QinetiQ has been the contracted partner for ship and submarine performance research, testing and evaluation for the UK Royal Navy for over 25 years. We now provide these services to support the programmes of other clients around the world.

We’re also using our expertise to advise clients in the renewable energy market to help predict the performance of marine vessels, tidal turbines and wave energy devices.
