BAE Systems required combat system safety analysis to support whole-boat activity on the Dreadnought programme, with safety evidence needing to mature in step with platform design and build milestones.
KDC Projects acted as a delivery partner, establishing and scaling a dedicated safety engineering team operating under a fixed-price, task-driven model and integrated with programme requirements.
This provided structured safety assurance, controlled risk across design stages, and enabled schedule-aligned release of safety documentation toward verification and acceptance.
