Hmmm . . . Babcock proposes replacing a ship brought off a design -- the Type 26 -- with another ship brought off a design: the Type 31. Oh . . . not to worry it is a mature design, there is wide growth margins and there is a comprehensive and bespoke transfer of technology program. Seems oddly familiar! Got to give it to the PR team - they even were able to work the word "proven" into the article. I am pretty sure "based on a proven design" is not the same thing as operationally proven though. Can the Government -- given the importance of achieving capability in urgent and accelerated acquisition periods identified in the DSR -- take risks on any ship where the lead ship is still in the build process as opposed to ships that have been built, are in the water and operationally proven?

If you agree with the analysis in the presentation video, please COMMENT on, LIKE and SHARE this post! It takes a village to change an industries behavior! == Please watch this short video at the link below. When it comes to the cost of creating, managing and delivering technical publications to sustain a weapon system within the defense industry, it's not hard to see how siloed government contracting processes result in ever increasing sustainment costs with each new siloed project award. Either global governments need to change their procurement methods OR Prime contractors need to take the lead and do what is best for their customers to help their customers achieve their sustainment cost reduction goals. Or governments and prime contractors can maintain the status quo... that is an option. A potentially disastrous option! Global Government's and Prime's who are actively working their enterprise consolidation strategies are building their future competitive advantage! What are you doing?

The Incident Command System (ICS) language plays a pivotal role in managing emergencies by providing a standardized, flexible framework that enables diverse organizations to communicate effectively and work cohesively during crises. The use of a common language and terminologies eliminates confusion, enhances coordination, and ensures that all parties understand their roles and the situation at hand, regardless of their usual protocols or terminologies. ICS ensures that there is a clear, reliable path for information flow between different organizations, which is crucial for making informed decisions and effectively managing emergency responses. #readytorespond #weareexxonmobil

I learned Planning from the ground up. My first deployments were key in my ability to understand and apply these concepts. They're not as complicated as they seem, but they are a system and it requires training, even when customization comes into play. Learn the basics, practice the basics, and stay flexible. Flexibility and smooth transitions will always be paramount. Train so you can fight. You never know when you will need to fight.
