Specialist UK systems integrator Delkia provides industry proven engineering and technology services for safety-related and mission-critical systems used in aerospace and maritime sectors. Following rapid growth in recent years, with large contract wins with Tier one defence clients in the UK, such as BAE Systems, the Ministry of Defence Submarine Delivery Agency, and Northrop Grumman, Delkia is attending DSEI to showcase the company’s capabilities and development towards a new digital vehicle control system.

Delkia is research active, developing future capabilities and technologies to serve the defence sector. As an example of this work, the Delkia Team will be introducing an all-vehicle, digital process for the generation of vehicle control laws which has the potential to save significant development time and programme cost by coupling computational fluid dynamics with data science. A working model of an Astute submarine using our control laws will be on display.

• Kurt Canfield, CEO, a Chartered Engineer, a Certified Functional Safety Professional and has over 20 years’ experience in functional safety, qualification and certification in the defence sector.
