DE&S AWARDS CONTRACT FOR NEW ROYAL NAVY ELECTRONIC WARFARE CAPABILITIES



PUBLISHED 09 NOV 2021

Vessels equipped with the new technology will include the Type 26 and Type 31
frigates

SHARE THIS STORY






Defence Equipment and Support has awarded a £100-million contract to a
Babcock-led partnership with Elbit Systems UK and QinetiQ to deliver
cutting-edge electronic warfare (EW) systems to the Royal Navy.

The EW technology will allow more simultaneous detection and identification of
radar signals over a greater frequency range than current capabilities. This
will aid faster operational decision-making, enhanced situational awareness and
anti-ship missile defence capability.

Around 170 jobs are expected to be created and sustained across the UK by the
13-year contract, mainly in the South-West of England, ranging from
manufacturing to software development roles.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: “In a world of rapidly evolving threats,
these enhancements will upgrade the Royal Navy with pioneering radar detection
capabilities maintaining the UK’s operational advantage at sea.

“The £100-million investment with key industry partners will underpin vital
defence outputs whilst supporting jobs and investment in the South-West of
England.”


“THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND EXPLOIT THE INCREASINGLY COMPLEX ELECTRO-MAGNETIC
ENVIRONMENT IS CRITICAL FOR THE OPERATIONAL SUCCESS OF THE ROYAL NAVY”








Maritime Electronic Warfare Systems Integrated Capability (MEWSIC) Increment 1
is the first phase of a £500-million Maritime Electronics Warfare Programme
(MEWP) to deliver battle-winning operational advantage on Type 45, 26 and 31
frigates, as well as the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers.

Senior Responsible Owner for the programme, Royal Navy Commodore Steve Prest,
said: “The ability to understand and exploit the increasingly complex
electro-magnetic environment is critical for the operational success of the
Royal Navy.

“This technology will deliver a generational leap in our electronic warfare
capabilities to ensure we maintain the operational advantage we need well into
the 21st century.”








Rear Admiral Jim Higham, DE&S Director Ship Support, said: “I am delighted to
have achieved contract award and look forward to working with Babcock, Elbit and
QinetiQ. Now the real work begins – delivering this crucial capability to the
frontline to time and cost and supporting the men and women of the Royal Navy in
what they deliver for our nation.”

Babcock, Elbit and QinetiQ will work as one team with DE&S, the Royal Navy and
Dstl (Defence Science and Technology Laboratories) to design, manufacture,
deliver and integrate the capability before providing in-service support for the
duration of the contract.

Strengthening maritime capabilities ensures the Royal Navy are spearheading
innovation and are prepared for new and emerging threats. This ambition,
outlined in the Defence Command Paper, is reinforced by the £24 billion increase
in defence spending over the next four years.
