Hope I did Simon Finch and the rest of my team from Mil Eng British Army - Programmes justice. Looking forward to next years event CEL2025 in Warsaw. Thanks to the Team from Defence Leaders for an excellent event earlier this year.
'Advancing Sustainable Military Engineering: Insights from Colonel Adam Foley' In an interview at Combat Engineering Logistics in Warsaw, Poland, Colonel Adam Foley, AH Military Engineering for the British Army, discussed the military's evolving approach to sustainability and fuel reduction. Foley highlighted initiatives like hybridisation and power storage as key strategies to decrease reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with environmental commitments such as net zero carbon goals. He also emphasised the importance of interoperability with NATO partners and shared insights on ongoing projects, including upgrades to military bridging and advancements in chemical and biological defence.

The first Army vehicles have rolled into a new state-of-the-art storage facility at MOD Ashchurch, delivered under the Vehicle Storage and Support Programme (VSSP). VSSP is delivering storage and maintenance infrastructure to support thousands of British Army vehicles and associated equipment. The first storage facility is now in service, providing immediate capability to the Field Army with controlled humidity environment storage for around 600 vehicle platforms. The official opening of the building took place last week, with TROJAN breaking the tape as the first vehicles began rolling through the doors. Two years on from the VSSP contract signing in summer 22, the Programme continues to deliver to schedule – and at pace. The first completed asset - an admin building for site personnel – was handed over earlier this month; 2 more buildings are due to be completed this year, and 6 additional buildings are currently in construction. All of this has been achieved alongside enabling demolitions and with minimal disruption to site operations. Thanks to the successful collaboration between the joint team from Army Basing & Infrastructure and Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), VSSP continues supporting the Field Army to ensure the readiness of the fleet. #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagement

Following a successful transition period from a 20-year-old Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract that expired this month, the British Army’s new contract for delivering a Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) capability went live this month. The Interim Capability Solution contract placed with KBR, Inc., as part of the wider Material Distribution Land 25 Programme, secures a HET capability for the next three years. The capability is a vital enabler for logistic movement including the transportation of heavy armour, such as the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank, from operating bases to areas of operations both in the UK and abroad. #ProgrammeManagement Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) #Tank #HET

ZODIAC has reached its Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Drop 1 milestone and the team recently took the opportunity to provide a demonstration to members of British Army Headquarters. ZODIAC will be integral to digitalising the Army’s Sensor-Decider-Effector chain, increasing our lethality by faster decision-making, lower the cognitive burden on operators, and more efficient use of the Army’s resources. ZODIAC utilises cutting-edge technology and provides the platform for the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the Army’s ISTAR processes, increasing the quality of decision-making and speeding up the tempo of operations. The picture shows the programme's Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) Brigadier Matthew Birch explaining the system to the gathered audience. #ProgrammeManagement #Projectmanagement

The Royal Engineers Combat Water Supply System (CWSS) journey continues…. In line with the Land Industrial Strategy #LIS and as part of the British Army’s modernisation agenda, alongside our partners in Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and KBR, Inc. Swindon, we have accelerated the delivery of a bulk water production capability to enhance our NATO readiness commitment for the Field Army. Through a training package, designed and delivered through KBR, our Royal Engineer soldiers can deliver potable and palatable water at scale on Operations. The CWSS containerised system can generate up to 12,000 litres of water per hour in theatre for direct issue or packaging. The CWSS eliminates the need for bottled water and unburdens the strategic logistic chain to focus on warfighting supply. #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagement
