BAE Systems to Provide Integrated Data Environment to Canada's Halifax-Class Frigates

Fleetway Inc. awarded BAE Systems a contract to integrate Integrated Data Environment (IDE) to enable effective and efficient shore-side support to Canada’s Halifax-Class frigates.

BAE will deliver a range of digital solutions for on-shore support of Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) vessels.

Fleetway will benefit from access to a range of BAE Systems digital capabilities, including its expertise in configuration management, obsolescence management, and digital twinning, BAE Systems said in a release today.

The IDE will allow Fleetway engineers and their enterprise partners to collaborate easily and gain access to engineering life cycle management data, as well as to share, withdraw, edit and re-publish data necessary for supporting the vessels. It will also facilitate a clearer understanding of the complex network of interdependencies between ship systems and components. This will help decrease support time and cost and enable Fleetway to maximise fleet availability.
