Bath-based specialist engineering consultancy BMT Asset Performance has secured a four-year contract with the Ministry of Defence to support the UK’s air defence and ground-based electronic warfare systems.
Under the contract, BMT will collect and analyse support data from radars in the UK and globally and advise the Air Defence & Electronic Warfare Systems (ADEWS) delivery team at the MoD if its prime contractors are meeting a range of key performance indicators. 
The ADEWS delivery team is responsible for the through-life capability management of current air defence and ground-based electronic warfare systems, pictured.
ADEWS commercial manager Becky Hazel said: “After a competitive tender, BMT was awarded a four-year contract to provide data collection and analysis services for the ADEWS delivery team.
“We are glad to be able to continue working with BMT as over a long period, they have proved themselves to be a trusted partner who understands our business, has provided value for money services and delivered the goods.”
During the contract, BMT will introduce its industry-leading managed service and software package RAMtr@ck, which will automate much of the data gathering and analysis, driving cost efficiencies into the programme.
RAMtr@ck will also help improve stores usage, track equipment configuration and provide near-live visibility of key data and metrics. This will allow the ADEWS team to speed up decision making, while providing efficiencies in the development and management of maintenance records.
BMT Asset Performance marketing & sales director Baz Flower added: “We are really proud to have won this contract, building on two decades of supporting the ADEWS team. We are looking forward to applying a range of asset management skills that will drive efficiencies into the programme and show clear benefits to our customer.”
BMT Asset Performance is part of the BMT group, the international design, engineering and risk management consultancy.
It employs nearly 100 dedicated engineers, analysts and consultants who work on planning and problem in areas such as defence, energy and transport across its offices in Bath, Plymouth, Fareham and Weymouth.
