BMT Unveils New Concepts at DSEI 2013 Show

BMT Defence Services (BMT), a subsidiary of BMT Group, has launched two innovative, new platform design concepts at DSEI 2013.

Both the BMT Venator®-110 Multi-Mission Reconfigurable Warship and the Vidar®-7 Small Modern SSK Submarine have been developed to deliver maximum capability, flexibility and longevity within the limitations of current fiscal constraints. BMT has leveraged its unparalleled naval design capability to produce platforms that will offer maximum whole-life effectiveness and value for money by balancing buildability, survivability and performance.

DSL Venator 2The BMT Venator®-110 Multi-Mission Reconfigurable Warship concept offers flexibility by balancing a range of capability options within design constraints to deliver an affordable multi-functional warship. In order to fulfil roles as diverse as Maritime Security, International Engagement and Warfighting, BMT used a systems engineering approach to whole ship design in order to map capability and evaluate how equipment, function and capability trade-offs impact on whole ship design parameters and operational effectiveness.

BMT Venator®-110 provides a platform with capability enhancement options for added future flexibility. Its hullform was developed for open ocean performance, with the ability to support reconfigurable top side arrangements. Modular mission systems are used to affordably reconfigure the ship depending on role requirements and the need to respond to changing threats. The Patrol Ship and Patrol Frigate versions of the BMT Venator®-110 design show how an intelligent design can support a change in mission modules for mission re-role through simple understanding of operational requirements and equipment integration.
