Trusted, independent naval advisors delivering confidence at sea

Naval ships operate in demanding conditions - with tight margins for error and high stakes for safety, capability, and interoperability. Whether navigating integration risk, cost pressures, design trade-offs, sustainment or decommissioning, we support defence customers in balancing performance, availability and value.

Whether we are designing vessels, providing in-service support or specialist consultancy, our independent perspective helps decision-makers manage complexity with confidence and prepare platforms for current and future demands.  Our legacy in platform design - from QEC and large naval support vessels to patrol and specialist craft - is matched by deep domain expertise across assurance, safety and through-life support. We help our customers maintain capable, available and future-ready fleets in a complex, fast-evolving defence environment.

Navigating naval complexity with clarity and precision

Geopolitical and funding tensions

Balancing rapidly modernising naval forces against ageing fleets, all within tight budget constraints amid escalating geopolitical tensions—a critical pressure point. We help by optimising resources and applying independent expertise to deliver effective capability.

Aging fleet dependence

Over-reliance on older vessels while new ships remain in production impedes readiness and heightens operational risk. We extend platform life safely and effectively, while supporting seamless transition to next-generation fleets. 

Urgent modernisation needs

Delivering new ships with cutting-edge lethality and advanced technologies must keep pace with turbulent strategic demands. We integrate advanced technologies into naval platforms, accelerating modernisation while managing risk.

Across-lifecycle complexity

Supporting ships through all phases - design, acquisition, maintenance, life extension, and disposal - requires seamless integration of multifaceted engineering capabilities. We provide end-to-end lifecycle expertise that ensures ships remain capable, reliable, and cost-effective throughout service life.

Timely delivery of innovation

Engineering and consultancy services must enable timely, innovative solutions to address complex and evolving naval challenges. Our agile, multidisciplinary solutions bring innovation to the fleet quickly and effectively.
