Offer Description
Recent geo-political developments and related security challenges have accentuated the need for rapid response capabilities by well-coordinated EU naval vessel fleets with advanced platform and systems’ technologies. On the requirements side, rapid adaptability to ever changing scenarios, optimal capabilities deployment and resilience along with high-level situational awareness and minimum human-on-the spot presence are needed. On the solutions side, high vessel automation along with safe communications and effective combat management must be provided. In addition, EU naval fleets are committed to reduce their environmental footprint by intelligent use of Power and Propulsion Energy (PPE) systems and clean fuels.
The relations between the naval vessel functions and the corresponding physical vessel systems must be referenced and implemented in the vessel architecture so that the impact of design choices and new technologies can be made visible. This also means that differing naval missions and environmental conditions require different vessel solutions and Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). The ability to capture the European operational concepts, the required functionalities, and specific constraints per intended CONOPS can be provided by a common System Architecture for European navies.
Project EUROGUARD will combine state-of-the-art and innovative technologies to study, design, prototype and demonstrate the viability of a versatile medium-sized semi-autonomous surface (MSAS) naval vessel. In addition, the MSAS will also demonstrate the benefits offered by a common System Architecture for future European semi- and fully autonomous naval ships.
This PhD project specifically aims to support the development of a Generic European Naval System Architecture (GENSA) based on Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and applicable to future European autonomous naval vessels and CONOPS. The PhD will support the GENSA in the areas of:
