The 15-month upkeep is also the first on an amphibious ship under the full implementation of the Surface Ship Support Alliance (SSSA) Class Output Management (COM) approach, under which Babcock leads the support of all amphibious vessels.Work to be undertaken includes more than 60 upgrades. These include the new 997 Medium-Range Radar system; four 30mm Automated Small-Calibre Gun Systems to replace existing 20mm guns (involving installation of more than 20,000m of power and control cabling); a new fire detection system; the Defence Information Infrastructure (Future) (DII (F)) enabling information sharing and collaborative working across the Armed Forces and MoD; and the DNA (2) Command System.
