S1850M is a long range radar for wide area search. With fully automatic detection and track initiation, it can track up to 1,000 air targets at a range of around 400 kilometres. The S1850M provides 3-dimensional track/plot data of the tactical threat and own forces within the operational environment.

The Panoramic Area Surveillance System (PASS) brings together surveillance and data fusion technologies to demonstrate an innovative response to the demands of modern maritime security.

Optimise for Mission Success. The StormBlade hull form is the result of intense development and is an evolutionary design building on the pedigree of our proven in-service world-class boats. 

Our next-generation tactical riverine craft is capable of operating on inland and inshore coastal waters for troop insertion/extraction, raiding, patrolling, reconnaissance and stores delivery.

Load-carrying workboat punching above its weight.

The Seakeeper 7 series is based on a capable load carrying, high speed asymmetric catamaran hull form, designed for maximum performance with water jets.

The Pacific 950 has been designed from concept to meet demanding Special Forces requirements. The craft combines rapid acceleration with the strength and power to carry large payloads. It is reconfigurable for multi-role use and can easily interface with naval shipping and aircraft.

The Fast Interceptor Craft range is designed specifically for the demanding military and coastguard sector. Available in several variants, they are carefully tailored to suit each individual operator’s particular requirements. These boats have a formidable reputation and are currently in service with UK Special Forces and overseas agencies.

Arctic is a versatile range of high performance outboard sea kindly hull forms, optimised to suit the requirements of the demanding military and para military sector. Our Arctic craft have been proven by a vast array of end-users including Royal Marines, Special Forces, Coastguard Agencies and Lifeboat services.

Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) certified, the Pacific 24 Mk IV inboard Rigid Inflatable Boat is proven in service with the UK Ministry of Defence, UK police and overseas military organisations, further strengthening our position as designers and builders of the world’s most technically advanced RIBs.

For the last 30 years our range of Rigid Raiding Craft has been setting the standard in light assault craft. The 5.2 metre was first developed in the 1970s and the 6.5 metre Beach Raider was developed subsequently, in response to the need for a craft with increased capacity. Both variants are in operation today with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and other overseas agencies.

The North Corner of Portsmouth Naval Base – an area of 70,000 square metres – has undergone major infrastructure work to become the Queen Elizabeth Class Centre of Specialisation.

Our Test and Integration toolset supports design teams in the deployment of capability upgrades and the introduction of new platforms into service.

From individual crew training through to preparing for a full joint services command team exercise, and using MIMESIS, our high-fidelity maritime battlespace simulator, we accurately simulate multi-domain environments, the platforms and their systems to enable complex live, virtual training.

Through advanced capability analysis and experimentation, we enable customers to evaluate, test and assure novel concepts, weapons, sensors and doctrine in a safe high-fidelity environment.

Offering a fully integrated service through our professional services team, our experts provide end-to-end training needs analysis, course design, content creation and consultancy.

Working in partnership with leading technology firms, we are bringing together online, classroom and simulated learning to deliver high-quality efficient and affordable learning for our customers. Project CanDLE is our technology-led solution to creating immersive, personalised and accessible education to train the students of the future. It is able to improve the learning journey across a wide range of disciplines from basic language skills through to tactical and strategic operational training.

Project OdySSEy brings together experts in simulation, supercomputing, data analytics and augmented and virtual reality to create a single synthetic environment, enabling air, land, sea, space and cyber forces to plug in and train together.

Battlespace simulation delivering mission advantage

Housed in a purpose built training facility, Astute Class Training Service (ACTS) provides the Royal Navy with Operator and Maintainer training for the Astute Class submarine.

With a global fleet of 650 aircraft, Hawk is the most successful and proven military aircraft trainer ready to deliver the frontline pilots of the future for decades to come.
