The Advanced Technology Centre delivers the frontline in
technology innovation, acquisition, development and insertion for BAE Systems
and its joint venture organisations. The service offering of the ATC provides
for the development and creation of future technology capability over a broad
spectrum of disciplines. Its services, capabilities and resources are applied
throughout the product lifecycle, supporting long term speculative research
through to applied product development.
With an employee base of world-class scientists, technicians and
researchers, the ATC has a proven history of delivering innovative technology
and providing cutting edge solutions to the business. Long term strategic
capability development to support the future growth and technological
positioning of BAE Systems, is addressed by the ATC through the instigation and
pursuit of areas of key importance to future defence requirements. These
activity programmes involve multi-disciplinary teams drawn from across the ATC
and key business units to ensure the technologies and products developed
support current and future business growth. The programmes currently instigated
cover areas such as Micro and Nano technologies, Autonomous Systems,
Battlespace Information and Knowledge, BioFutures and Directed Energy Warfare.
In addition, an Underpinning Technology programme addressing generic
technologies provides a solid basis for future investment planning. Our core
skills cover an extensive range of disciplines from Sensors and Communications
to Autonomy and Human Factors. Future technologies under development within
academia and other research institutes are also carefully monitored and
evaluated by the ATC to assess the potential impact and exploitation to BAE
Systems. As well as developing new technologies and capabilities, the ATC is
able to provide key resources, skills and knowledge to business units, joint
ventures and external customers.
