Who We Are

Safety assessments for the next generation of Main Battle Tank and Autonomous Vehicle Concept. Deriving the safety targets from first principles using R2P2, Deriving Risk Graphs using Battle Filed Mission & Fleet Data and Reverse Engineering ETAs. Identifying Platform Level Functional, Operational, Occupational and Particular Risk hazards. Deriving the Platform and Sub-System level safety requirements using quantitative (FTAs, FMEDAs) and qualitative assessment techniques. Presenting the Hazard Analysis, Derived Requirements, and V&V control mitigations in a Structured Modular Safety Case for input to Preliminary Design Review. Utilising of DOORs as a bespoke Hazar Log tool to integrate with the functional and Non-functional system requirements at Platform and sub-system level. Such that there is a clear auditable link between safety design influence, functional / physical architecture, requirements and V&V. Delivering the Design and Manufacture phase safety strategy and presenting the Cradle to Grave (CADMID) system safety approach to achieve the platform safety goal whilst maintaining availability, survivability and performance criteria.

System Safety support to Autonomous Tracked Vehicle and Integration with other smart battlefield concept TRL development programme including trials validation.

Providing Independent Safety Advice and Assessments for RAF High Command on Air Traffic Management (ATM) Systems including Navigation, Surveillance & Radio Communication Systems, Air Defence – Onward Routed Radar Data (ORRD) Architecture security & safety Assessment.

Assessment of Safety Assurances (functional and intrinsic /non-functional elements) for HMS Astute, Vanguard, and Successor Class Common Combat Sub-Systems at BAE Frimley.

Software Safety Assessment and System Safety Case updates (JSP 430, Def Stan 00-55 & 56, D Ships, ARP 4761, IEC 61508, DO 254) for HMS Astute Class Visual Systems (contributing to Navigation & Tactical Systems) Boats 1 to 3 and Safety Case development for Boats 4 to 7.

Safety Consultancy (ISO 26262, ISO 13849, DO 254) for a Hybrid/ Electric Bus.

The primary objectives in this role were; to set up an organisational infrastructure and culture for functional safety (including Def Stan 00-56; ISO26262; RAMS BS 5760 & EN 50126); provide safety assurances via functional / physical safety analysis from cradle to grave (HAZOPS, HAZID, FTA, ETA, PRA, CCA, ZHA, OSHA, OHHA, FMECA, FMEDA), safety system design definitions, safety arguments, safety requirements derivation and links to safety design elements; deliver safety cases to the sub-system and platform authorities for product certification & product Release to Service (RTS). We were also responsible for systems engineering activities within the product design lifecycle. Other objectives were; to streamline the organisational systems & safety engineering process; to develop the young engineering talent by implementing a CPD scheme; setting up the roadmap to achieving corporate List X status; and develop business outside the automotive sector such as aerospace, defence and rail.
