World-Class Weapons Handling

Mark Smith, founder of Juglugs Engineering & Management Consultancy was the Software Development Manager & Chief Software Engineer for the Highly Mechanised Weapons Handling System used onboard the Queen Elizabeth Class of Aircraft Carriers for the United Kingdom.

Complex Systems Engineering

A 3D slide puzzle involving the stowage and movement of weapons around an Aircraft Carrier efficiently whilst meeting the highest safety standards for all sea states requires highly-skilled systems engineering.

Mark Smith led the software development team, but was also instrumental in the system concept and design for all aspects of the programme.

Manpower Reduction

The unique design of the HMWHS allows a vastly reduced crew size aboard the latest UK Aircraft Carriers.

The Software Development team, led by Mark Smith, delivered this complex solution on time and to budget, exceeding challenging customer and political expectations.
