Under the contract, the company will provide engineering and technical support for underwater explosion (UNDEX) testing, shock qualification and ship survivability programmes.

The company will also provide validated algorithms for predicting the response of test vehicles, scale models, submarines and surface ships to UNDEX events aimed at extending the fleet’s life cycle.
