From concept phase, through systems development, manufacture, delivery, in-service support and disposal, we have the know-how, technology and commercial experience to deliver world class customer solutions now, and for decades to come.

Featured projects

Key programmes across the naval, joint, air and land sectors define our depth of expertise and range of application. Here are just a few that we're at the centre of:

Naval

Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier programme

One of our biggest current projects is leading the development of the total mission system for the UK Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier programme, comprising HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

Type 45 Destroyer

Our Sampson multi-function radar is at the core of the anti-air missile system and is the most advanced radar of its kind in the world today. We also deliver sensors, combat management systems, data transfer system, electro-optical gun fire control, long range radar and meteorological and oceanographic systems for the world's most advanced anti-air warfare destroyer.

Stingray anti-submarine Torpedo

Stingray, which is widely recognised as the world's most sophisticated lightweight torpedo weapons system, is designed for launch from surface ships, helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft. It's in service with the UK armed forces and we have recently secured our first export success for Stingray, winning a contract with the Norwegian Defence forces.

Maritime Composite Training System

We are supplying the UK Royal Navy with a new shore-based warfare operator training capability, under the Maritime Composite Training System (MCTS) programme.We are also involved with many other key naval initiatives and programmes.

These include the Sea Wolf mid-life update (SWMLU) programme for the Type 23 and Type 22 frigates, the next generation submarine command system and the provision of the leading edge communications electronic support measures (CESM) under the SHAMAN C4ISTAR programme, all for the UK Royal Navy.

In addition, we are developing the Talisman unmanned underwater vehicle, equipped with the Archerfish mine disposal system, delivering advanced underwater autonomous capability.
 

Joint, Air & Land

From battlespace analysis through mission system design, development and integration of software and training, our capabilities provide through life support to our customers in the Joint, Air & Land sector.

Joint Strike Fighter

We are in the lead for UK interoperability on the Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter programme, as part of team Lockheed Martin. And we continue to innovate in many other areas - from unmanned autonomous systems (UAS) to network enabled capability (NEC) and C4ISTAR architectures for future air systems.

Falcon Increments A & C

We are also leading major UK integrated mission capability programmes such as the FALCON information infrastructure. FALCON will enter service in 2011 delivering broadband-like secure communications to the Royal Air Force and British Army.

Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (CATT)

We, in partnership with Lockheed Martin, can claim the largest networked training system in the world - CATT as well as other high fidelity motion platform training systems.

Type 102 Commander Radar

We are supplying the UK Royal Air Force with the latest generation Commander air defence radar, underpinned by a logistics support agreement that will ensure operational effectiveness until at least 2025. Previous Commander variants have been successfully deployed on operations in support of UK forces.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)

Our UAS control infrastructure brings end-to-end mission and information management, planning, analysis and dissemination capabilities to autonomous land, sea and air platforms. This underlines BAE Systems' approach to developing UAS technologies across all three domains.

We are also involved with many other key joint, air and land programmes and initiatives, including the Dagger and Martello surveillance systems, intelligent command systems applications such as Joint Command System, Logistics (JCS, Logs), Air Tasking Order Processing System (ATOPS) and mission planning systems, the Bowman tactical communications system and air defence, electronic warfare and asset protection systems.

Other key business capabilities

Under-pinning these naval and joint, air and land programmes, Insyte provides world class engineering, manufacturing, advanced visualisation and experimentation and through life support capability.

Our people are committed to being the best, serving our customers and the communities in which they operate so that we can continue to achieve our over-arching goal of becoming the dependable partner of choice for our customers.
