TY - GEN AB - 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.
