Submarine Capability Optimisation

Procurement of high value defence assets, such as ships, submarines and aircraft requires rigorous analysis to ensure the system procured will perform as required in the operation. To achieve this, system and subsystem modelling can be conducted to determine how the subsystem choices affect the whole system performance. This should be linked to a capability analysis to relate the subsystem perf...
