A second specialist ground control station (GCS) has been delivered to BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) for the HERTI (High Endurance Rapid Technology Insertion) Unmanned Air System (UAS) Programme by Marshall SV, the Cambridge based specialist vehicle and shelter manufacturer.

Marshall Specialist Vehicles (MSV) delivered the 14 foot shelter on time, to cost and specification in order to meet the timetable for rapid fielding of the system. The selection of the shelter was dictated by the transport modes, including C-130 "short versions" which will be used to move the GCS and UAS from location to location.

To achieve the programme delivery time and costs MSV dedicated a team of specialist engineers to the programme who were, in partnership with BAE Systems, responsible for planning, design, development, procurement, manufacture and delivery. This enabled the final product to be based on the latest 14' shelter whilst still meeting the performance and operational capabilities required.

MSV were responsible for the manufacture of the shelter and assisted in the build and assembly of the mechanical elements of the internal fit. The electronic and electrical elements of the shelter were designed by BAE Systems and fitted by BAE Systems at the Marshall's site in Cambridge.

Commenting on the programme Peter Callaghan Chief Executive of MSV said "We are really pleased to have helped BAE Systems with this programme. It represented a really challenging programme with difficult delivery targets which were achieved by good programme management and team working in MSV and close work as partners with BAE Systems."
