JFD has been awarded a contract worth over £20 million to provide support for the UK Ministry of Defence Astute class submarines. The four-year contract, which has a one-year extension option, commenced in June 2021.

The JFD team will be providing equipment-level in-service support which includes core and non-core tasks as well as the provision of spares. The contract will call on JFD’s expertise in providing a high level of through-life support to ensure the capability is ready for operations.

The contract will be managed out of JFD’s capability support hub close to the HM naval base Clyde. The facility possesses all the support required to ensure a guaranteed service to the UK Royal Navy’s submarine fleet.

JFD has partnered with RB Safety Consultants (RBSC), which has an outstanding reputation in the submarine industry for providing assurance oversight covering technical, safety and risk management services.

The contract will be overseen by JFD’s newly appointed managing director, Richard Dellar who says:
