Sula Systems provides the high quality systems engineering and engineeringscience expertise demanded by today’s complex aerospace and defence programmes. Sula works for MOD IPTs and defence prime contractors,deploying teams led by experienced staff who have been responsible forprojects throughout the entire CADMID cycle.

Support to the MoD

Support to the MoD Overview Through its experience and understandingof MOD structures and the AcquisitionOperating Framework (AOF), from theSponsor and User (Customer), throughDE&S and Dstl, to the scrutiny process,Sula is ideally placed to transform Usercapability requirements into practicableoptions with understood effectiveness,costs, schedules and Readiness Levels. Wespecialise in helping IPTs to integratesystems engineering with governmentoperational analysis, supportability,technology planning and informationmanagement.

DLOD Integration

Sula’s high calibre support for IPTs includes:

  • Formulating the strategic vision for the systems engineering process that needs to be applied prior to selecting and engaging their prime contractor(s)
  • Providing professional and knowledgeable systems engineering assurance once they have engaged their prime contractors
  • Delivering systems engineering tasks, such as the production of System Requirements Documents (SRD) and ITEAPs
  • Providing subject matter expertise on modelling, system acceptance, guided weapons, radar or the integration of systems across the battlespace and Defence Lines of Development (DLODs)

IPTs with whom we have or are working include Maritime Gunnery and Missile Systems; Future Rapid Effect System; Joint Battlefield Trainers, Simulation & Synthetic Environments; Joint Sensor and Engagement Network; Artillery Systems and Sensor Avionic & Navigation Systems.

Support to Industry

When an urgent, time-critical systems engineering task must be completed to meet a major milestone, Sula can provide the judgement, special skills and intellectual firepower to ensure that a project remains on track.

Sula is chosen by prime contractors for its impartiality and independence from the product bias, often key to reviewing strategy and plans for robustness.
