The Electronic Engineering function manages the design and delivery of high technology electronic products for our projects. Their expertise includes:
- On board missile equipment such a weapon controllers, fin actuators, safety systems and data links
- Firing control units for land, naval and airborne platforms
- Automatic test equipment
- Electrical equipment
- Training simulators
- Countermeasures equipment
Manufacturing
The principal mission of Manufacturing UK is to ensure that MBDA deliverable commitments are met in terms of time, cost and quality. The aims are:
- To ensure that all submitted bids are achievable from a manufacturing viewpoint i.e. proposed manufacturing architectures (incl. supply chain), processes & capabilities, delivery schedules, resource allocation and costs
- To make sure designs are feasible and to develop appropriate manufacturing architectures and processes in order to meet development and production programme requirements
- To develop manufacturing methods and architectures compatible with emerging product and process technologies and concepts e.g. increased sub-system modularity and re-use and evolution through technology insertion within and across product families
- To maintain responsiveness to changing customer demands throughout the product life-cycle through the deployment of flexible and agile manufacturing resources, facilities and architectures with particular emphasis on in-service support to all UK HMG Services (e.g. UORs and/or surge demand)
Mechanical Engineering
The Mechanical Engineering Team develop, design and support mechanical aspects of our products throughout their life-cycle in order to meet the required timescales and cost, while maintaining optimised performance for all current and future MBDA projects. These aspects include:
- Physical missile & systems product design
- Missile mechanical airframes
- Mechanical, electromechanical, and (small) pyrotechnic sub-systems
- The management of in-house associated engineering centres of excellence
- Future preparation through implementing a strategic approach to innovation, technology, modularity, skills and investment across MBDA customer.
