Design, Integrate, Build and Support, The Marshall Focus

DSEI is an important date in the defence calendar and one which focuses the mind, for Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group it is no different.

The company will be focusing on how it designs, builds, integrates and supports equipment and systems.  These systems cover deployable camp infrastructure, C4ISR solutions, deployable medical systems, CBRN protection, laboratories and forensics, vehicle systems and support.

 Camp Infrastructure

Our definition of camp infrastructure covers a range of military shelters used for workshops, ablutions, catering, water purification and armouries.  It also includes expeditionary camp infrastructure which may well be a combination of tents and shelters.  Since Marshall began producing shelters in the 1950’s we have built over 5000 units in over 300 variants for military customers across NATO and other defence forces.

C4ISR

Our C4ISR solutions involve integrating complex electronics such as radars, electronic warfare equipment, and ground control equipment for UAVs into shelters, where the company’s proven systems engineering skills are exploited to the benefit of our customers.

Military Medical Systems

Our knowledge of medical solutions has been proven through the supply of CT Scanners to the UK, Norway and France, in the case of the latter five of these units have now been supplied under a NATO framework agreement.  Working in partnership with Philips Healthcare we have integrated the scanner into a deployable shelter and the system is uniquely designed to be providing diagnostic information within only a few hours of arrival on site. 

Our medical solutions cover from what used to be called the Regimental Aid Post back to full blown field hospitals where full diagnostic, surgical and intensive care facilities are available. These can be utilise shelters, tents or a combination depending on the size and use.

Forensics and Laboratories

Evidence, especially in today’s asymmetric warfare environment, plays a vital role in intelligence gathering.  Historically this has had to be done by bagging and then transporting it back to a home country for analysis, which added considerable delay.

Through our understanding of clean environments we have developed a shelter based forensic system which consists of all the elements a scientist working in a permanent facility would expect.  We have extended this capability into laboratories required in the medical world.

Vehicle Systems

Vehicle systems have been part of the Marshall pedigree ever since the company began at the beginning of the 20th Century. During this time we have been responsible for turning the ubiquitous Land Rover into an ambulance, putting the load bed onto the UK MOD’s present support vehicle and more recently working with partners to provide vehicle mounted GeoIntelligence systems, air defence command and control and armoured ambulances.

CBRN

Underpinning our work are two elements which can apply across all areas.  The first of these is CBRN protection where with our supply chain we provide full protection including decontamination.  Working with our customers we design and integrate a solution which matches the requirement.

Support

Our support work includes all those things that you would expect such as warranty work and training but where we differ is through our work assisting our customers to manage their fleets of assets such as shelters.

Consolidating support, maintenance of its extensive shelter fleet, reducing the number of contracts, reducing costs and still providing the best possible service to their Front Line Command customers were key elements to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence launching Project Amphora. Five Design Authority roles and nine in-service contracts, many of which were coming to an end, have been brought together into one all encompassing framework comprising core Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), set-price call-off tasks, spares and variable price tasks covering diverse activities including ad hoc repair, post-deployment regeneration, upgrades and re-roles.
