The Challenge
Design twin, configurable communications masts for the Royal Navy’s future Type 26, City class frigate
Our Solution
Based on the successful Type 45 masts, we designed structural masts for communication and sensor antennas, delivering continuous 360° coverage and providing frequency isolation to manage electromagnetic interference.
Extensive computer modelling of the masts’ RF performance and structural characteristics has led to achieving Lloyd’s accreditation and the first ship’s set has passed structural and electrical acceptance
