What we do

A ship programme, naval or coast guard, stage by stage. Before the contract we research, strategize, design, configure and propose. After the award we supply, integrate and sustain. One team carries the programme through all eight stages, and the scope of each is listed in full.

To contract award · in partnership with the shipyard, on naval and coast guard programmes

From contract award · the same team stays with the ship

On government programmes we work as the partner's information centre: we gather what matters from a world full of it, fuse it into one picture, and build the bid on the partner's strengths.

To contract award

For a shipyard bidding on a naval or coast guard programme, we prepare the sensor, communications and combat-system scope in partnership with the yard: the technical and the commercial side of it.

Research

We start with the buyer.
