Simon Knight, Naval Engineering Director at Babcock, said: “Babcock is driving change across the defence industry, harnessing the power of collaborations to meet the increasing demands of our customers. With our ability to offer proven, flexible and adaptable solutions, Future Surface Fleet will enable us to showcase how Babcock can meet the build and technology needs of modern global navies.”

Both technologies will be showcased at the conference. Combining training and technology and embracing the positive impact of the Warship Technical Authority, Babcock is trusted to deliver a holistic in-service support package for its domestic and international customers.

Ian Cowper, Head of Warships Platform Engineering at Babcock and presenter at the conference said: “Future Surface Fleet gives Babcock the opportunity to share some of our key case studies highlighting our innovative ATHENA in-service support and how the capabilities can be applied to global navies. These examples demonstrate how our programmes can be truly embedded to support customer’s assets, ensuring they are fit for the 21st century and beyond.”
