Integrated System Technologies is fully focused on the pursuance and delivery of complex system solutions. Solutions that are, by their nature, enterprise wide, cross-domain and cross platform. They encompass the integration of business processes, information, systems, people, organisations and infrastructure.
We are actively involved in several key initiatives and programmes. These include the mission system for the UK’s Future Carrier programme (CVF) and integration of the Carrier mission system with the UK JSF aircraft information system.
We also provide support to NITEworks, the UK MOD and Industry partnership, including experimentation and visualisation through its Battlespace Management Evaluation Centre.
Examples of our activity within the joint domain include:
Battlespace Management Evaluation Centre
The BME Centre is our networked visualisation and experimentation hub. Its capability plays an integral role in delivering network enabled solutions, allowing the development, analysis and testing of design concepts to the limit, within a virtual battlespace.

CWID 2007
The Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) enables the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and its agencies exploit a coalition multi-level secure network and undertake risk reduction activities. In 2006 and 2007, we were the UK lead technical integrator for CWID. This involved integrating the disparate systems of 16 companies, bringing together UK, US and other international technologies.
NITEworks (Network Integration Test and Experimentation Works)
NITEworks is an experimental environment that allows the UK Ministry of Defence to assess the benefits of Network Enabled Capability (NEC).
We have been actively supporting the NITEworks programme. Our BME Centre has been the host facility for the NITEworks* Medium Weight Capability (MWCap) Theme B experiment.
The Theme investigated Command and Control (C2) of the Medium Weight Force engaged in a rapid deployment, small scale, focussed intervention within the 2015 timeframe.
The BME Centre was chosen to host the theme because of its technical strengths - coupled with our extensive experience in delivering high stability and innovative visualisation and experimentation environments.
Future Carrier (CVF)
We are leading the Mission System requirement for the UK Future Carrier. The Mission System is the overarching system that enables all parties to operate cohesively within the battlespace. Working with industry partners as well as the MOD, we have a number of secondees within the Aircraft Carrier Alliance.
Joint Command System (Log)
JCS (Log) provides J1 and J4 users with a Joint Operational Logistic C2 capability at UK and deployed HQs. It harnesses proven and working commercial technologies to create a Joint Logistics Picture (JLP). It can be expanded to enhance the logistic situational awareness in all operational environments of the Joint Command System.
LYCHGATE
LYCHGATE (the RAF’s intelligence system) connects intelligence staffs at Headquarters Royal Air Force Air Command with their counterparts in the Ministry of Defence and other services, as well as to front-line Squadrons of the Royal Air Force deployed in the United Kingdom and overseas.
The system provides an advanced and rapid means to receive, collate, analyse and disseminate multi-media intelligence data from a wide variety of sources.
Prosecution Of Emerging Targets (POET)
The POET process involves the analysis of ‘Capability Chains’ and their effectiveness in attacking time sensitive, and emerging targets. These Capability Chains are analysed against different target sets, in various terrains, to test their effectiveness.
It is increasingly important that interaction and joint working is considered across all domains. Projects such as POET demonstrate that the work carried out by us is essential to the future of the integrated battlespace.
