Harnessing our market-leading Survive® modelling and assessment software, our survivability experts quantify the effects caused by damage sustained on a ship or submarine. This allows different protective strategies to be compared so that the most effective option can be selected. It also enables simple manipulation of designs or in-service platforms to assess the impact on vulnerability.
Thousands of potential attacks or damage scenarios can be analysed within minutes to provide prompt appraisal of designs based on engineering expertise and real world experience. Current customers include overseas organisations both inside and outside of NATO.
QinetiQ provides computational predictions and modelling to determine the vulnerability of ships and submarines for blast, fragmentation, shock, whipping, fire and flooding damage. By assessing the damage inflicted to equipment in different scenarios, we will establish the vulnerability of the platform’s systems and, ultimately, the resilience of its primary capabilities - such as the ability to fight, move and float.
QinetiQ performs lethality analyses for different weapons - from missiles, bombs, torpedoes and mines to improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and swarming autonomous vehicle attacks. QinetiQ can investigate a weapon design to determine its lethality. The impact of a weapon design can be investigated by changing aspects of the weapon, such as the warhead explosive content, velocity, fragmentation pattern and fuzing logic.
Attack points can be interrogated individually or collectively for:
Using computational modelling, QinetiQ will investigate and assess alternative recoverability strategies for different forms of system, equipment or platform damage. Such assessments typically include:
In addition, we will carry out evacuation analysis to determine evacuation times from a damaged platform.
