We are delighted to announce that, in partnership with several highly talented companies that are experts in their respective fields, Safeguard Engineering Ltd has successfully secured an additional 20 capability filters on the MOD Aurora EDP framework.
Commenting on the partnership success, Steve Beech, Director at Safeguard Engineering Ltd said:
“We have partnered with select businesses that are specialists in their individual fields. Combining their specialisms with our expertise and reputation in engineering and environmental safety means that we can now offer the MoD Aurora EDP framework a hugely increased portfolio of complementary expertise. We are all looking forward to working in an extended capability with the MoD to support new defence projects.”
SEL has teamed up with Norton Straw Ltd, The Oakland Group, H2NA Ltd, Cobalt Blue Ltd and Atentu Ltd to provide the MOD with capabilities in engineering and analysis, naval architecture and data analytics through to machine learning and artificial intelligence. These additional filters also enable us to support the MOD directly on such areas as Radar, Navigation, Mission Systems and Weapons Systems and Equipment, which builds on our in-depth safety and environmental capabilities in these areas.
