Defence Platform Design and Support

Joint Support Ship (JSS) BMT has supported the Canadian JSS project office for several years with concept studies, preliminary designs, safety assessments, through-life support assessments and a contract design concept to allow a value for money comparison with the selected design. All these elements have made a strong contribution to this crucial programme for replacing the Royal Canadian Navy’s ageing Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment ships. T-AO (X) BMT is supporting General Dynamics NASSCO’s contract with the US Navy to conduct a range of studies to better inform the navy’s T-AO (X) design. This will replace the legacy T-AO 187 class, providing fuel and cargo delivery to support a full range of fleet operations. © US Navy
