Defence equipment programmes
Defence technology is evolving rapidly – from autonomous systems through to advanced materials and the integration of artificial intelligence into military vehicles.
Armed forces need to have cutting-edge hardware so they are able to respond to existing and emerging threats.
While staying the course and controlling costs on the delivery of long-term projects and programmes, they also need to push the boundaries of defence equipment innovation.
Working in partnership with manufacturers is essential to achieve this, and it requires engagement with technical experts from across the delivery supply chain. It is vital that all personnel understand the threats being faced and the optimal condition for equipment to perform.
What can we do for you?
We work for defence agencies alongside investors, contractors and manufacturers, to design and deliver equipment programmes that provide defence capability on land, at sea and in the air.
We can help you:
Plan strategically
By clarifying goals, considering future uncertainties and risks, and robustly assessing options, we help you make the best long term decisions.
Optimise programme design
With the right partners on board, governed by appropriate incentives and risk sharing, we optimise programme design with effective schedules, cost estimates and controls.
Deliver with certainty
We manage programmes with accountability, communication and collaboration, integrating the latest digital solutions to provide greater assurance on delivery.
Sustain performance
The purpose built support facilities we deliver are designed to sustain the performance of equipment for the long term.
Optimising defence equipment programmes for readiness
Our global network of technical experts have a deep understanding of defence and security, and they can drive transformative outcomes in equipment platforms or programmes.
Our experience
We’ve worked in the defence sector for over four decades and have extensive experience in managing and planning equipment programmes. Some of our recent work has included:
-
Defence equipment and support, UKWe are working for the UK’s defence equipment procurement agency in support of multiple equipment programmes, offering project and programme management, project controls and other services, and working closely with manufacturers to help meet the needs of end users and allow for a well rounded defence capability. These equipment platforms include: Air: C130J, Typhoon and Hawk aircraft; Land: Challenger 2, Puma, Merlin and Gazelle; and Sea: Type 31 Frigate.
-
Five Eyes and NATO, globallyWe are defence consultant to the Five Eyes Security Alliance and NATO in support of their domestic and overseas programmes.
-
HMNB Clyde, Faslane, UKWe run the base maintenance programme at HM Naval Base Clyde in Scotland, managing the crews of technicians who carry out vital work to keep the fleet of nuclear submarines seaworthy to maintain the UK’s continuous at-sea deterrent.
-
NATO future surveillance and control, globallyAs part of the Boeing ABILITI Consortium, we helped NATO to define how it will conduct aerial surveillance after the Airborne Warning and Control System fleet is retired in 2035.
