A look aboard the ship of the future

We have sketched out a future naval ship, with people considered in every part of the design. Explore the shipyard, engineering spaces, operations room and bridge. Then visit our lab to see related work we have delivered and what we could bring to SCG.

Stop 1 · The shipyard

Welcome aboard the ship of the future

People are part of every system on this ship. The earlier we understand their work, the easier it is to address risks through design. Follow the guided tour or select an orange marker to explore, then head up the gangway.

Stop 2 · Engineering spaces

Below decks: keeping the ship running

Tight spaces, heat, noise and long shifts all shape maintenance work. Small changes to access, layout and procedures can make tasks safer and easier to complete.

Stop 3 · The ops room

Where people and mission systems meet

Systems can detect problems, organise information and recommend actions. Operators still need to understand what they are seeing, question recommendations and take control when needed. These needs are easier to address early in design.

Stop 4 · The bridge

A clearer view from the bridge

Navigation, communications and watchkeeping all depend on people having the right information at the right time. Explore how the bridge could better support those tasks, day and night.

Stop 5 · The hatch

So where does Opposite fit?

The ship is a concept. Behind this hatch are examples of work we have actually delivered, and where that experience could be useful to SCG.
