The whole-life digital management platform provides real-time insight and intelligence across individual vessels, fleets, and programs, creating a connected ecosystem of information that supports assets from initial design and construction through to operational deployment and long-term sustainment. Already deployed in selected Babcock-managed marine build and support environments, the platform can also be adapted for use across other defense and critical infrastructure domains.
As momentum builds behind Hybrid Navy concepts, including our own ARMOR Force (Autonomous and Remote, Maritime Operational Response Force) approach, we’re advancing complementary digital support systems that support legacy fleets, new-to-service warships, and future hybrid and autonomous capabilities within a single connected platform.
Coordinated through a central command center, it synchronizes data from multiple systems and sources, enabling program teams, operators, and support organizations to make faster, data-driven decisions. By bringing together previously disparate information, the platform helps improve program performance, enhance operational readiness, and optimize through-life support.
As navies around the world pursue major recapitalization and modernization programs, Pelorus offers a scalable, digital solution that connects people, processes, and systems, providing a rich and continuously evolving picture of asset performance throughout its lifecycle, redefining how the modern navy manages its assets.
The platform has been developed with partners to address a number of key trends shaping the future of naval capability, including increasing demands for fleet readiness and availability, digital shipbuilding transformation, the growth of artificial intelligence, analytics and digital twins, and the need to modernize and extend the life of existing fleets.
Sir Nick Hine, Chief Growth Officer and Chief Executive – Marine, Babcock said: “The future of maritime capability depends on the ability to connect design, production, operational and support data into a single digital environment. Pelorus provides our customers with a powerful whole-life view of their assets, enabling better decisions, improved performance and greater operational availability.
“By creating a connected digital thread from build to support, we can help navies and maritime operators accelerate delivery, optimize readiness and unlock greater value throughout the lifecycle of their assets.”
The launch reinforces our continued investment in digital innovation and supports our ambition to deliver smarter, more connected defense solutions that enhance customer capability and mission success.
