We are constantly challenging our design capability in the work of our multi-disciplinary BMT InSpira® project teams.  Focusing on rapid innovation and the application of new technologies to rapid naval platform design, their philosophy emphasises:

  • Multi-disciplinary approaches to design SSGT

  • Systems philosophy 

  • Utilisation of current commercial and military off-the-shelf technologies

  • High capability combat systems, accommodating refined sonar options, as well as support for land attack, special, anti-submarine and anti-surface operations

  • Superior standards of accommodation, enabling extended patrol durations

  • Enhanced self-protection capability BMT Venator

  • Communications interoperability and compatibility with net-centric warfare  

  • Advanced capability for the launch, operation and recovery of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and tethered unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), including options for wet and dry deck hangars

  • Lean manning concepts

  • Reconfigurability  

  • Through life cost management and support

  • Innovative propulsion and materials technology

BMT InSpira intensifies and co-ordinates this R&D under a single plan and brand, and focuses it on new and emerging markets.

Innovative and distinctive yet grounded in the real world, BMT InSpira designs are both to be practical and effective.
