 | | WARSHIPS ARE CABLED FOR THE FUTURE | | | AEI Cables | | 04/07/2008 | | | The supply of cabling for the fifth of six warships in the new Type 45 Anti-Air Warfare Destroyer programme is being made to the Royal Navy by AEI Cables.
Control cables and medium voltage main power distribution cables are among an extensive range of cables being delivered for the programme to prime contractor BAE Systems.
Specialist designs to withstand extreme temperatures and environments which meet stringent Royal Navy engineering standards and specifications are being supplied for the complex, high performance systems.
Jim Duffy, Chief Executive of AEI Cables, said: “These cables will meet the most demanding of environments and, working with BAE Systems, we have an efficient supply for this project.”
The Type 45 programme will provide the Royal Navy with a versatile destroyer capable of contributing to worldwide maritime and joint operations for much of the first half of this century.
As well as providing a specialist air warfare capability, they will also afford the fleet a general-purpose multi-role platform capable of performing tasks from peace support and defence diplomacy through to high-intensity warfare.
The experience gained by AEI in working across industries worldwide has resulted in one of the most comprehensive cable product ranges available anywhere.
This includes power generation and transmission, offshore, general wiring and construction, transportation, defence and cables for heavy industrial applications. | |
