Maritime

The rapidly changing threat environment is putting increasing demands on platform availability and operational readiness.

With our powerful research network, continuous testing, assessment and optimisation, we’re at the forefront of assuring sovereign naval capabilities.

We work with partners across the world to apply new technologies to ships, submarines and unmanned systems, exploring the art of the possible for every mission. We assess and assure naval systems from concept design through to in-service operation, simulating the mission environment using representative threats. Through individual and collective training, we integrate live, virtual and constructive technologies, enabling pre-deployment confidence.

Capability Assurance & Integration

Optimising, integrating and securing all the components that together form a mission-critical capability.

Combat, Communication & Information Systems

Command Information Systems (CIS) take real world data from sensors, process them, and communicate them to operational decision makers.

Data Intelligence

We use modern software development techniques of agile and DevSecOps applied to data-intensive client problems to meet the demands of time-critical client missions.

Maritime Cyber Security

With over 90% of the world’s goods transported by sea and 30 million people enjoying a cruise each year, a successful cyber-attack against the maritime sector could be devastating, costing millions and ruining businesses.
