Naval solutions
Global operations are bringing many demands on today’s navies and supporting infrastructure, but one thing is particularly apparent – mission unpredictability – today’s ships must be flexible, able to take on a variety of roles. We can review the impact of different propulsion system options on vessel performance and understand the importance of meeting shock, environment, safety, reliability, and through life support requirements.Our extensive product base and experience in both ship design and propulsion and power systems integration, enables Rolls-Royce to contribute to system selection, the interfacing of the propulsion system to the ship structure, ship services, auxiliary systems and ancillaries.

- Naval Handling Systems
The goal is to bring the right products together so the propulsion system fully matches the mission objectives, is reliable and compact, yet flexible and cost effective through life. Where predictable or fixed life-cycle costs are important, our support packages can be tailored to individual requirements with guarantees for performance and safety, using formal integrated logistic support disciplines.
The current operating environment and therefore the requirements for any ship are likely to affect its size. Naval architects and systems designers have access to our complete product and systems portfolio that will deliver performance with affordability for virtually any size of naval vessel.
