About

Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to MARIN for corporate memberships from 2025 to 2027, supporting the SDA Technical Directorate's engagement with external technical organisations.

The contract, valued at £135,000, enables the next phase of CRN (Phase 12) from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2027.

The agreed scope includes intact stability work to maintain FREDYN validation for simulating extreme motions of naval ships, assess dynamic stability of small combatants, identify a stability parameter correlated with capsize, and correlate ship design features with capsize probability.

Damage stability work includes improving the FREDYN flooding model, performing a pilot evaluation of a damaged frigate to derive parameter sensitivity and develop a process for future damage stability criteria, and conducting sensitivity of inputs to establish a taut simulation methodology.
