SENER Finalises a Software Contract with BAE Systems

The Spanish company SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas S.A. has finalised a contract with the British company BAE Systems PLC for the licence to use its CAD/CAM FORAN System in naval construction activities.

By virtue of the agreement, FORAN can be installed in BAE Systems Group company, in any Aircraft Carrier Alliance member, as well as in any of these companies’ subcontractors.

FORAN is currently installed in the following BAE Systems Group companies:

•  BAE Systems Submarine Solutions, in Barrow-in-Furness

•  BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions Limited, in Scotstoun, Glasgow

BAE Systems will use the FORAN System as a strategic business application to support and improve project, construction and slip integration activities in its factories in the United Kingdom. The greater performance obtained using FORAN in design and manufacturing processes will result in a reduction in costs and deadlines and an increase in product quality.

The first result of the contract has been the installation of around 200 licences in both factories currently used to develop different phases of the CVF Future Carrier Project (future British Navy aircraft carrier project) and for internal training.

Other services provided by SENER include training, System adaptation to BAE needs, local and remote support, as well as interface development between FORAN and BAE’s current management systems.

Luis García, SENER’s Naval Business Strategic Business Managing Director, has stated: “This is a significant achievement for SENER that acknowledges our constant efforts in improving specific CAD/CAM tools for naval construction. The awarding offers us an excellent opportunity to plan our activities in the long term, and this will enable use to closely collaborate with BAE in the years to come”.
