Platform design & testing
Platform design & testing
Commissioning new naval vessels typically involves complex trade-offs between various platform aspects to arrive at
the optimal concept design. Our specialist naval architecture support service helps you manage this trade-off
process.
Whether your requirement is for surface ships or submarines, we offer total and independent support in assuring the
safety and performance of your vessels, including:
Ship and submarine structural assessment
Noise and vibration
Submarine escape, rescue and surface abandonment (SMERAS)
Diving
Atmosphere control
Hyperbaric medicine
Vulnerability assessment
Manoeuvrability, propulsion, stability and sea keeping
The advanced numerical models we use have been validated over decades of experimental testing and are proving
themselves every day on current at-sea platforms. In ship and submarine concept design, we’re known for being able
to answer the difficult questions because our independence allows us to consider the broadest range of possible
solutions. In submarine hydrodynamics, propulsion, and SMERAS no one else can offer our level of facilities,
trials/experiments and analysis.
We also have particular expertise in designing the architecture of distributed platforms requiring network enabled
capabilities, making sure ships and submarines comply with environmental legislation and improving a vessel’s
energy efficiency.
