NavyX

Certified at 10:09, underway at 11:01. Today marks XV PATRICK BLACKETT’s first outing under the blue ensign and the start of the next phase for this project. It’s been challenging, but NavyX has achieved something many said was unachievable. #NavyX #PTBK.

@thejamestay @AJBC_1 @RoyalNavy Through competitive tendering the market adjusts to capitalise on wider benefit, resulting in reduced cost to MoD - unless specified. Equally some equipment is COTS; modification and amendment to the standard production costs more.

@AJBC_1 @RNNavyX But why does the @RoyalNavy continue to advertise the suppliers name on those white communication domes? As a taxpayer, I would like to know how much Sailor pays us for the privilege?

Having spent nearly 2 weeks in #London it was time for @RNNavyX vessel XV PATRICK BLACKETT to head back down the #Thames. Not only does it look special - it sounds great too!!! #XVPATRICKBLACKETT #X01 #NavyX #PTBK #NavyPODs #dlr_blog

#NavyX have been working with @imperialcollege #London experimenting with a novel #quantum compass onboard XV Patrick Blackett. Immune to jamming and manipulation, a system that could could replace GPS on ships. #quantumnavigation #autonomy @RoyalNavy

Fantastic opportunity for some of the newest recruits to @RNReserve to visit @RNNavyX ship XV Patrick Blackett (XO1) last night while she was alongside @HMSPresidentRNR #PTBK #LondonNavy

The past 24 hrs has seen Lulworth Ranges, which are situated 10 minutes from the Defence BattleLab, host and enable a novel UAS demo exploiting the cleared airspace as well as our live fire trial below. A great piece of training estate.

“It wasn’t too long ago we were getting hands on for the first time with this remote weapons mount. Fast forward to today, we carried out static live firing at Lulworth Range from our APAC24 - another milestone - Looking forward to testing on the water” - Andy Nguyen

PTBK’s schedule is ramping up. First Navy POD loaded for trials this week. #NAVYX #PTBK @RoyalNavy

Good to show Com TF59 around #PTBK this morning on his visit to Portsmouth. #NavyX and #TF59 share a lot of common ground and will continue to work together. @RoyalNavy @USNavy #maritime #autonomy
