BAE Systems required design certification and legislative compliance for mission-critical components of the Common Combat System across the Astute, Vanguard and Dreadnought submarine classes, with delivery dependencies tied to boat programme milestones.
KDC Projects operated as a fixed-price delivery partner, undertaking bottom-up requirements review, verification evidence assessment and production of full certification documentation sets.
This closed outstanding compliance gaps, provided complete legislative artefacts, and enabled accelerated equipment release to HMS Audacious.
