Beadwindow has an international reputation as an established provider of bespoke solutions that meet the specific operational needs of naval personnel in an ever-changing world. Beadwindow’s mission is to provide professional services that make operations easier for at-sea servicemen.
Supporting naval personnel through capability development and programme implementation
The wealth of knowledge a warfighter can bring to any naval capability development, acquisition, and sustainment programme simply cannot be underestimated. Their involvement should be sought and their perspective is crucial, because they will be the ones who have deal with the results first-hand.
We know that no-one is more knowledgeable or aware of circumstances or requirements on the frontline than the warfighter. When new combat systems or naval shipbuilding programmes are introduced without speaking to naval personnel, they get justifiably irritated.
That’s where we step in. We advocate the seagoing warfighter, without any interference from rank, process or politicians.
Ensuring naval personnel input in systems development
The company consults warfighting sailors and officers to tailor its services to focus on their specialist needs in the three key areas of operations, sustainment and training.
- Operations. Ensuring the voices of naval personnel are heard and understood by those dealing in capability development and sustainment
- Sustainment. We make sure that combat systems are maintained and sustained to the high standards necessary for seagoing warfighters
- Training. We help ensure implementation of strategies for learning and development that optimise personnel capabilities and use of combat systems
Our extensive experience of at-sea and land-based protocols enables us to help clients succeed in areas that include:
- C4I systems operations across the detect-to-engage sequence
