DE&S and Royal Navy named
The Maritime Multi-Link Programme, a joint DE&S and Royal Navy venture to rapidly modernise tactical data links for Navy vessels, has been named Best Project Delivery In Defence by the UK Government’s Project Delivery Profession body. The award recognises the exceptional achievements of the team who swiftly developed, integrated, tested and proved ‘First of Class’ installations, under considerable technical and operational pressures.

Dr Simon Dakin, DE&S Director Integrated Battlespace, said: “Winning at the UK Government’s Project Delivery Profession award is a fabulous celebration of the programme’s collaborative ‘one team’ culture, which has been the winning ingredient throughout early concept stages and more recent delivery. It has enabled 90 professionals spanning a range of specialisations across 15 sites to overcome significant challenges together.”
BAE Systems is providing specialist management and technical support for the Maritime Multi-Link Programme.
Steve Carter, BAE’s Naval Ships Combat Systems Director, said: “At BAE Systems we’re really proud to have such a long and trusted relationship with the Royal Navy and we’re delighted to be at the heart of delivering the Maritime MultiLink Programme’s modernisation of tactical data links.”
