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.

Maritime Capabilities

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.

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.

Maritime Platform Design

Paramarine is a fully integrated Naval Architecture tool, where all design and analysis work takes place within one common graphical user interface, eliminating the need for data exports to other packages.

Maritime Products & Systems

Our Maritime capabilities provide navies and subsea markets innovative solutions for command and control systems, undersea communications, sensors and robotics.

Maritime Robotics & Autonomy

Our Maritime capabilities provide navies and subsea markets innovative solutions for command and control systems, undersea communications, sensors and robotics.

Mission Rehearsal & Operational Readiness

We manage and operate the UK Ministry of Defence's (MOD) core land, sea and air Test & Evaluation (T&E) capabilities under the Long Term Partnering Agreement.

Naval Combat Systems Engineering Course

The course is aimed at those who already have or are about to join the Naval Combat System domain.

Research, Technology & Experimentation

We are proud to be part of UK DRAGONFIRE, a consortium working to achieve a significant step change in the UK’s high energy laser weapon systems capability.

Test & Evaluation Facilities

We manage a wide range of world-class facilities, from a 5m Wind Tunnel to one of the largest hydrodynamic facilities in the world.

Underwater Threat Representation & Signature Services

Our Stealth and Smart Technologies team models, designs, optimises, applies and tests electromagnetic and vibro-acoustic stealth technologies.
