Recently I came across a video on INS Vikrant which made me go back several years when I had read Tom Clancy's "A Guided Tour Inside a Nuclear Warship". Aircraft carriers have played pivotal roles in maritime warfare throughout history. Some unforgettable battles which have left an indelible mark are the Battle of Okinawa, the Falkland Campaign & the Gulf Wars. A Naval vessel is a live example of Program/Project Management where a number of projects are executed in an intermeshed manner seamlessly. (a) Complex Systems: Operating a naval aircraft carrier involves intricate systems. A warship integrates various subsystems (propulsion, weapons, communications,etc) which are individually complex & need to be part of a single platform in order to let the Carrier execute it's mission effortlessly in real time. (b) Risk Management: A Naval vessel faces risks—technical, operational, and environmental. The stakeholders are continuosly monitoring & mitigating risks through contingency plans, safety protocols and regular assessments. (c) Resource Allocation: Perhaps nowhere else is the importance of resource more relevant than for a Naval vessel sailing in blue waters. Efficient allocation of resources is paramount keeping in mind known & unknown exigencies. (d) Lifecycle Management: A warship’s lifecycle includes design, construction, deployment, and maintenance & decommisioning. The team needs to perform lifecycle management in various time-periods in order to move the wheel. (e) Quality Management: Rigorous quality control ensures project deliverables meet gold standards. An aircraft carrier undergoes inspections for quality regularly. No compromise on quality is acceptable. (f) Change Management: It encounters changes—scope adjustments, technology upgrades & emergencies. Adapting to change while minimizing disruptions is incorporated during training itself. (g) Leadership: Effective leadership—by commanders at every level; whether the Captain or the sailor—is critical. Decision-making, motivation, and team cohesion are the intangibles which drive mission success. #military #militarytransition #militaryveterans #militaryhistory #militarytraining #navy #navyveteran #navyseals #navyday #navalhistory #aircraftmaintenance #aircrafts #projectmanagement #projectmanager #projectmanagers #pmi #pmiglobalsummit #weapons #pentagon #defenseindustry #defencejobs #maritimesecurity #maritimetraining #maritime

[#Navgreek] ⚓️ 🇬🇷 On November 21, Naval Group and Naval Group Hellas, the company’s subsidiary in Greece, signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation (MoU) with NCSR "DEMOKRITOS", the largest multidisciplinary research centre in Greece, in the presence of General Directorate for Defense Investments and Armaments (GDDIA) Director Admiral Aristeidis Alexopoulos.   Through this signature, they give a concrete expression of their will to strengthen their cooperation for further common projects, both in civil and defense applications. Already, they will answer together to EDF 2023 call about Innovative Propulsion Systems with the CALIPSO project. 🤝   This cooperation agreement will contribute to develop and share know-how and best practices, as well as to build the framework needed to enable research and innovation. It will foster the development of joint projects, mostly at a European and NATO level, in relation with naval technology, and create new high-technology products and services with defense application. 💪

🛰️🇩🇪🙌 Airbus Defence and Space has secured a 2.1-billion-euro contract to build a next-generation secure military satellite system for Germany. The company will design, integrate, test, and deliver two new GEO telecommunications satellites into orbit before the end of the decade. “After the success of the SATCOMBw Stage 2 programme, which we have been delivering since 2009, this latest contract reinforces our strategic partnership with the Bundeswehr, providing them with a greatly enhanced secure milsatcom capability that is future proofed into the 2040s,” Airbus Defence and Space CEO Michael Schoellhorn said. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #satellite #satellites #germany #bundeswehr #airbus #space #militarycommunication
