#REPMUS24 reflections.... 🤔 It was great to see first hand what can be achieved by multi national collaboration #NATO at Marinha Portuguesa - Página Oficial It was also great to see and hear about just how quickly the Portuguese Navy are procuring, trialling and #failingfast to evolve their capabilities. Ensuring they remain agile and prepared to face future threats. We've also learnt that it is vital to sit and listen with people, regardless of whether they are clients, colleagues or new introductions we have been fortunate to meet. A 5 minute conversation can offer so much if you make sure you are "actively listening, not just hearing" (credit Paul Carrick Brunson) We thrive on supporting clients, solving complex and simple issues with our engineering knowledge, creating credible products rapidly. ⚡ Come and sit in our chair and chat with us............. let us understand more and explain what we can offer to help 💡 Coffee or wine available ☕ 🍷 #weareNATO #strongertogether #uksme #innovation #listening

We are back in Blighty................................... 🇬🇧 After our spending the majority of the week amongst NATO navies at #REPMUS24 🇪🇺 We were delighted to attend and have gained much from the people we met from the Navies in attendance, as well as Industry personnel supporting the exercise. We were lucky to spend some time with Defence Leaders Oliver Whitlock talking about industry and defence engagement and the vital role they play in linking people to enable collaboration. The role drones and autonomous craft have to play in the future of naval deployments in the future is certainly interesting. The Royal Navy showcasing several drone solutions and continuing to learn and experiment using #PTBK with Michael Hutchinson MBA and Stuart More BA (Hons). Operating and supporting these future technologies requires a solution that is pan domain deployable + able to interoperate and integrate. A maritime to land projectable and capable solution, designed with the end user and operational advantage in mind. We will harness what we've learnt this week alongside our significant modular experience as a leading provider of modular solutions to the #royalnavy to shape our future modular solutions. #weareNATO #MaritimeUnmannedSystems #strongertogether #modular #sme #royalnavy
