The Towing Tank at our marine technology facility at Haslar, near Portsmouth in the UK, offers our global customers a service to deliver constrained hydrodynamic model tests of surface ships, submarines, offshore structures, and renewable energy devices.
Global maritime is changing, new challenges exist. There is the need to deliver proven structural analysis and Survivability services to commercial, naval ship and submarine operators plus constructors around the world.
QinetiQ’s suite of marine software solutions help designers, ship yards and operators create aesthetically pleasing vessels that are safe and efficient to design, build and operate.
To counter emerging threats, defence organisations need to foster innovation and rapid capability development through easy access to the widest possible pool of external technology and talent across both industry and academia.
Whether modifying our own systems to run large-scale experiments to help define doctrine or adapting off-the-shelf technologies to test tactics, we are adept at supporting the studies that shape the development of existing and emerging capabilities.
The masts measure up to 14 meters and are strategic elements of the combat system, raising the submarine’s sensors out of the water when it is at periscope depth. They also act as a snorting mast, keeping the boat’s diesel engines supplied with air.
Because they are largely unmonitored, the world’s oceans are notorious for drug- and human-trafficking routes. Crow’s Nest detects ships of interest and then quickly tasks its constellation to collect the freshest high-resolution optical imagery, enabling agencies to identify vessels with confidence and provide evidence of activity.
Naval Warfare Training System: A dynamic training suite that replicates naval combat environments to build strategic skills and operational readiness in maritime defense scenarios.
