      abstract = {Defence maritime capability is enabled by support  activities that span from design and acquisition throughout  the life cycle to ultimate disposal of warships. External  effects, such as climate change and environmental  compliance obligations, act to increase the burden on  platform support whilst also making it harder to deliver  those activities.
Through-life support requirements are  derived for each project by integrated logistic support  engineers. They apply an online tool to provide assurance  on how the support solution is developing (or operating if  the platform is in-service) including consideration of  sustainability indicators within the support solution. The  suggested support development activities aid compliance and  responsiveness to changing legislation and other  sustainability considerations, as well as exploiting  opportunities to use technology and learn lessons from  previous programmes. Effective through-life planning can  achieve support advantage, freedom of manoeuvre, and  operational availability.
This paper explores how the  requirements between through-life support and environmental  protection come together to deliver sustainable support  advantage for the Royal Navy. It concludes this may be  achieved by verification that material state is  environmentally sound and assurance the platform can be  operated within the Environmentally Sustainable Operating  Envelope whilst on military operations.},
