- Satellite Applications Catapult
Satellite Applications Catapult is Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Government’s initiative to bring SME innovation together for space. As part of this program, BAE Systems acts as an enabler and offers a holistic partnership with various different SMEs to provide an exploitation route to deployment into the MOD and the Space Defence market.
- SERAPIS Lot 2 Space Systems
SERAPIS is Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl)’s six year programme covering C4ISR (command, control, computers, communication, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), Space Systems, Synthetic Environments, and Simulation Technology to support human capability development. BAE Systems is leading SERAPIS Lot 2 as part of a Prime Consortium, drawing on support from the Satellite Applications Catapult to create awareness of the Lot, within the SME Community and our unique partnership of top UK space universities, government agencies and the investment routes, set up to support SMEs within the UK.
- Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA)
As Electronic Warfare (EW) continues to transform tomorrow’s battlespace, the benefits of integrating Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) are becoming increasingly clear. However, it’s not about appointing individual system integrators to do a defined task, but more about integrating the activities of all involved – from budget holders and procurers, to users, partners and suppliers. And that’s where a CEMA Integrator comes in.
BAE Systems believes CEMA Integration is key to enabling MOD to secure and sustain Information Advantage. We illustrate CEMA Integration as the intersection of the three overlapping circles of Cyber, EW and Security which are focused on the system function of; access and exploit, protect, collect and manipulate, complemented by integration with platforms and with people. Suppliers into a CEMA Integrator have the opportunity for greater national and also international exploitation. We believe a CEMA Integrator is key to future capability development and supports the flexibility and adaptability five domain integrated (5DI) operations will demand.
