BAE Systems is working with Dell Technologies on delivering innovative digital capability for the new City Class Type 26 frigates.
The collaboration will deliver a Shared Infrastructure to host the ship’s essential systems, including a number provided by third parties, on a single, reliable digital platform. It will take full advantage of scalable, open, and coherent technology while providing enhanced durability, state-of-the-art security, and data protection. Additionally, the reduced footprint of the solution will provide environmental benefits.
The integrative approach builds on the successful deployment of a Shared Infrastructure solution across numerous other front-line naval platforms, including the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers. It has already demonstrated exceptional operational reliability and reduced through-life costs, helping to future-proof the fleet and allow rapid capability deployment.
