BAE SYSTEMS DESIGN SERVICES - NAVAL TECHNICAL ENGINEERING AND DESIGN CONSULTANCY

Design Services provided naval architecture consultancy to the Danish Naval Material Command for this concept design of the new Flexible Support Ship (FSS) for the Royal Danish Navy.

We have provided the UK MoD with consultancy and support at HMNB Clyde, RNAD Coulport and HMNB Devonport as well supporting a number of overseas naval bases and UK commercial dockyards.

The Design Services' e-enabled safety tool, SMARTer, is deployed on Hunt & Sandown class MCMVs.

Drawing on our broad technical and project management expertise, we can provide independent integrated solutions in every area of marine design and technical support.

The application of systems engineering processes and the exploitation of appropriate technologies enables the delivery of the most efficient solutions. We have a track record of providing system engineering capability on some of the UK's most advanced platforms.

INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS, SIMULATION AND SOFTWARE

Linking mathematical theory with domain understanding and software skills we can produce a powerful capability in a computer model. The application of these computer models provides cost-effective answers, enabling our customers to make informed decisions prior to the commitment. In addition, we can take models and databases and deliver them as an intuitive, easy to use web-based capability.

RAMLOG DYNAMIC MODELLING TOOL

RamLog is a dynamic modelling tool developed to provide practical solutions to complex reliability, maintainability and logistic engineering problems. The modelling combines equipment design, reliability, maintainability, maintenance concepts, support concepts, required support resource and cost data to provide a view of each viable support approach. This establishes a depth of understanding about the differing support solutions and the detailed costs associated.

SIMTEC COMBAT SIMULATION MODELLING TOOL

SIMTEC is a modelling tool used for building combat simulations. Vehicles, systems and installations can be created, their physical and behavioural characteristics defined and their overall interactions can be modelled within a natural environment dictated by the user.

SMARTer WEB-ENABLED HAZARD LOG

SMARTer is a web-enabled hazard log for the management of safety issues relating to a specific platform or project. In allowing the analysis, recording and tracking of safety issues it captures hazards, causes, consequence and mitigation.
