Ship Air Integration

Scroll

The safe provision of aviation activities from ships is addressed through the ‘Ship-Air Integration’ activities and are subject to Statutory Regulation of the Defence Maritime Regulator (DMR) and Military Aviation Authority (MAA). To ensure respective Aviation and Ship authorities can achieve the required Certification and Release for the applicable systems or the capabilities Safety Cases / Assessments demonstrate that the systems are ‘Fit for Purpose’ and ‘Safe’.

Osprey have established a solid track record in the integration, development and delivery of both simple and complex Safety Cases and Safety Assessments across new and extant systems and capabilities.  Osprey have also developed strategies and training to aid the maritime aviation stakeholder communities to understand, harmonise and optimise their regulatory deliverables. We have led the delivery and successful certification of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) activities for the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers and supported the Platform and Equipment Authorities in the development of regulatory compliant Safety Cases for approval by the MAA.

Our range of expertise in the development and management of ship-air integration artefacts across military and civil projects allows us to transfer knowledge and good practice across our clients. This experience allows us to advise on ‘what good looks like’ and the most efficient way of achieving the objective. Our experience developing and managing ship-air integration solutions to the following areas means we are able to support you with your Safety Case requirement in the following areas:

  • First of type and conventional technologies
  • Systems of Systems Approach
  • ATM Equipment Safety Cases
  • Commodity Equipment and Assets

We are highly competent at several methodologies such as Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) and Claims Arguments and Evidence approaches and their associated tools. We are conversant with the regulatory processes required by the UK MOD, DMR, MAA, and International Regulators. We have received praise from our clients and the regulators for the clarity and accuracy of our work, often with first time approval of our submissions.

Many thanks to the Osprey team for developing and delivering the recent ATM Safety Awareness and ATM Safety Practitioners courses for Cobham.  The feedback from my team has been extremely positive.  Everyone enjoyed the training and felt that they could apply the learning across many of our current programmes.  The extensive ATM & Safety experience and expertise of the Osprey course tutors was very apparent, which contributed to the overall success of the training.

I found Osprey to be professional and responsive in meeting the demands of the Blackshark project. They were always on hand to address any issues and were pragmatic and practical in their advice. I would recommend Osprey to others needing similar safety advice and support.

The team at Osprey were outstanding in their approach to our project and throughout the timeline the team were fully supportive with their communication and interaction.

The output from the team proved to me that they deliver high quality pieces of work.

Glasgow Prestwick Airport

To help find an acceptable interim mitigation for a proposed Wind Farm, LSA approached Osprey as recognised leaders in Wind Turbine Mitigation methods. As part of their remit Osprey reviewed the potential capabilities of the local radar as well as other mitigation technologies in relation to the anticipated turbine effects and our Operational Requirement. Based on their assessment of the available solutions, the local airspace environment and the demanding project timescales, the use of a Non Automatic Initiation Zone (NAIZ) was proposed.

Osprey subsequently developed the Radar Sensor Safety Case to include the NAIZ and supported LSA through the subsequent discussions with CAA SARG. As a result of these discussions the NAIZ was accepted into operational service prior to turbine operation.

The solution has subsequently worked well and has proven itself to be the right decision for the mitigation of the Wind Farm.

I would readily recommend Osprey to any ANSP seeking supportive and informed assistance in establishing mitigation of Wind Turbines on Approach Radars.

London Southend Airport

Osprey has been contracted by my department since March 2014 to develop, author and maintain the Platform Safety Assessment (PSA)/ Safety Case for the UK Fleet of 22 A400M aircraft.  They have consistently demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the A400M Type Certification Basis (TCB) as well as the various Defence Standards and Regulatory Publications that are appropriate to A400M.  Their work has been completed to the highest standards and they have offered my team flexible and pragmatic solutions to some very complex problems.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Osprey to any future organisation within the Air Safety and Airworthiness arena.
