Mission modularity for operational flexibility

Why mission modularity matters

Adaptability is becoming a defining advantage in modern naval operations. 

As missions, threats and operational requirements evolve, naval forces need platforms that can respond just as quickly. Mission modularity makes this possible by allowing capabilities to be added, replaced or reconfigured as operational needs change. 

The result is a more agile and efficient fleet that can take on multiple roles, maximise platform utilisation and remain ready for deployment. 

Solutions designed for mission modularity

Mission modularity requires more than modular payloads. It also requires the infrastructure to integrate, move, secure, deploy and recover capabilities efficiently. 

This is exactly what we deliver. Based on more than 50 years of experience and extensive in-house engineering, manufacturing and testing capabilities, we develop and manufacture reliable solutions tailored to customer needs.

The Cube™ System

The Cube™ System enables mission capabilities to be moved, secured, connected and transferred throughout the vessel, supporting faster mission reconfiguration and greater operational flexibility.

Cube™ Modules

From mine warfare and ISR to command and control and force protection, Cube™ modules provide a flexible framework for integrating new capabilities with minimal impact on the vessel.

Launch and recovery systems

We enable safe deployment and recovery of mission assets. Our versatile launch and recovery solutions support boats, unmanned systems and specialised payloads in demanding maritime environments.

THE FUTURE OF MODULARITY

Become a Cube™ partner

The Cube™ System is built on collaboration.

Through our partner programme, OEMs and technology providers can integrate their capabilities into the Cube™ System.

Together, we bring proven technologies to a wider range of platforms and missions.
