Tier 1 defence client – Electronic systems
Revenue: Circa £1.5m
What?
The Customer requested that RC Fornax provide engineering capability support to the design and development of cutting-edge Electronic Warfare (EW) technologies for a next generation combat platform. The project required specialist domain knowledge and the application of best practice approaches such as Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) compliant to ISO15288.
A complex and dynamic project, output needs were expected to evolve as the project progressed. It was necessary for the RC Fornax team to utilise Customer facilities, tools and IT whilst integrating throughout a large delivery team.
How?
An embedded offload model was identified as the most effective delivery method to meet the project needs. RC Fornax engineering leadership engaged with the Customer’s internal work package delivery leads to scope and develop a detailed, output based Statement of Work (SoW). This supported a flexible project management and delivery approach. Evolutions in project priorities were managed in increments through formal but efficient change control process.
Result
A team of high SQEP engineers were sourced and embedded within the Customer project, led by an RC Fornax Engineering Leader and Project Manager. All deliverables were met on cost, quality and schedule. The Customer contracted RC Fornax to a second phase of the project.
