completion of the JSS Preliminary Design, the award of JSS Contract Design is a significant milestone in nearly a decade of close cooperation with the JSS Project Office. Te Joint Support Ship (JSS) project is a Government
Paramarine software is being used in the design of the Type 26.
“BAE Systems uses Paramarine on a wide range of
projects for both surface vessels and submarines. We are delighted to continue providing BAE Systems with the ability to perform cost versus capability studies efficiently to inform their bidding cycle. BAE Systems provide us with very valuable feedback which we keep incorporating into the product to continuously provide a more effective tool” said Vittorio Vagliani, Managing Director, QinetiQ GRC. Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) has also selected
Paramarine design soſtware, for submarine concept design in a sale through QinetiQ GRC’s Indian distributor, Conceptia Pvt Ltd. L&T is the builders of India’s first indigenous capability nuclear submarine and is one of the largest and most respected technol- ogy, engineering, construction and manufacturing companies in India’s private sector. “We selected Paramarine for submarine concept
design and analysis because its integrated structure enables faster iterations of the concept design. The software is not just an input/output algorithm, but has inbuilt knowledge of the basic submarine design research and allows a flexibility for innovative designs. We feel that it may prove to be an excellent tool for validation of concept design of submersibles at bid stage itself. Paramarine delivers a fully integrated submarine modelling, stability, manoeuvring, powering, endurance and early stage design solution. In addition QinetiQ GRC provided us with a comprehensive onsite training programme in concept design and best practical use of the soſtware,” said Commander (Retd) DK Phule, Senior DGM of Marine Design Centre, L&T.
New programmes BMT Fleet Technology
working on JSS BMT Fleet Technology Ltd, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, has been awarded a 12month, C$9.8 million design project to further develop the contract design as one possible option for the Canadian Forces’
Warship Technology May 2012
of Canada capital acquisition project to replace the Royal Canadian Navy’s ageing Auxiliary Oiler Replen- ishment (AOR) ships. Canada’s current procurement strategy includes the assessment/evaluation of two design options: a bespoke design developed by BMT Fleet Technology and an existing, off-the-shelf design of TyssenKrupp Marine Systems’ Berlin class. BMT Fleet Technology of Ottawa, Ontario has
been supporting the JSS project since December 2002 through a series of individual taskings issued under an engineering, logistics, and management support services contract. These taskings have included a broad range of engineering and design studies analys- ing and addressing such areas as system requirements, naval ship rules, concept design, ship performance modelling, general arrangements and layouts, pollution control, crewing concepts, system operations, ship sub-systems design, in service support concepts and through-life cost analyses.
Surface combatants Third Holland class patrol
vessel delivered On 11 April 2012 the third of four Holland class Oceangoing Patrol Vessels, Friesland, built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for the Royal Netherlands Navy, was transferred to the Defence Materiel Organiza- tion of the Ministry of Defence of the Netherlands. Aſter delivery Friesland was due to start an extensive
testing and work-up programme. A Tales Integrated Mast Module (IMM) will be installed early in 2014. Te four vessels in the Holland class are 108m
in length with a breadth of 16m and a displacement of approximately 3750tonnes. Tey provide hangar space and landing facilities for a NH90 helicopter or equivalent type. Teir armament consists of 76mm Oto Melara gun,
a rapid-fire 30mm gun and two 12.7mm machine guns. Te weapons are all fully remoted controlled. Te first two patrol vessels, Holland and Zeeland
were built at Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding in Vlissingen, with a number of sections supplied by Damen shipyard in Galati, Romania. Holland and Zeeland have already been handed over to the Royal Netherlands Navy. Te third and fourth vessels, Friesland and Gronin-
gen, were built at Damen Galati, under the supervision of Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding. Sea acceptance
