HMS Cardiff, the second of eight Type 26 City Class frigates being built in Govan for the Royal Navy, is entering the water for the first time 🚢 The ship - which has Welsh singing star Katherine Jenkins as her official sponsor - was transferred from the shipyard slipway to a barge by a team of engineering specialists to begin the float-off process. The build process for each ship involves its structure being completed in Govan and HMS Cardiff will be the last Type 26 to have this initial work constructed outside in the elements, as the new multi-million pound Janet Harvey shipbuild Hall in Govan will see the remaining frigates have their structures completed indoors. In Scotstoun, the ship’s outfit is completed and the complex systems are installed before test and commissioning takes place. As the first ship in class, HMS Glasgow is expected to enter service in 2028. Join us in shaping tomorrow 🔗 http://baes.co/X2gc50TaytM #HistoryMakers

📍 BAE Systems, Glasgow On the Scottish leg of his tour of defence industry sites, our CEO Andy Start was accompanied by Head of Combat Ships Delivery Group, Mark Beverstock. At BAE Systems in Glasgow they had the chance to witness in-person the progress that is being made on the Type 26 frigate programme. When complete, the Type 26 frigates will be the backbone of the Royal Navy’s surface presence and the most advanced Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) warships of their time, designed for critical protection of the Continuous At-Sea Deterrent and Carrier Strike Group. The programme consists of eight ships and will support 1,700 BAE Systems jobs in Scotland, as well as around 2,300 jobs across the wider UK maritime supply chain until 2035. Andy said: 💬 “It was a proud moment getting up close to what will be the Royal Navy’s most cutting-edge Anti-Submarine Warfare frigates. These exceptional vessels will play a crucial role in the continued protection and prosperity of our nation, and it was a pleasure to meet those working hard to deliver this programme and to see the ships in build.”

As a humanitarian engineer, who gets to travel and race around the world, I often get asked how I built my career in STEM and what I’d do differently if I had the chance 🚀 If I could go back to being 16 again, here are the 3 things I’d do to get a head start: 1️⃣ Explore Your Curiosity: Summers spent fixing and building bikes taught me that innovation isn’t confined to labs—it starts in your garden, your road, your home. This was the mindset and early experience which helped me to walk into STEM companies…and end up saving them millions of pounds. Get hands-on and explore your curiosity EARLY 🔧 2️⃣ Experiment and Learn: I wish I’d jumped onto free resources like YouTube earlier to explore what others were creating, especially around technology. There’s now so much free and accessible information there. I was pretty scared to study anything with electronics or programming but these have been some of the best tools in my toolbox, especially as I now develop electric cars. You just can’t make it up! Don’t be afraid to dive in and try something different - you never know where it might lead 👨💻 3️⃣ Broaden Your Horizons: I had no idea how closely aerospace aligned with what I do in motorsport. If I’d known, I would have sought out more experiences with companies like BAE Systems where the future of tech is being shaped. From engineering a Typhoon jet, to becoming a well-paid cyber security expert, there are no limits. If you’re considering options, they’ll open up opportunities for graduates in September and winter 2024 for apprentices. Remember, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take 🎯 The journey to where I am today involved a lot of exploration, and now you have the chance to start strong! Don’t just take my word for it though —see for yourself. 🔗 Link in first comment 👇🏾 The marathon continues 🏁 #TheKidFromPeckham #MotivezMindset #STEM #Aerospace #BAE #Ad

A jammed GPS signal can make navigation seriously difficult, to both military and civilian flight. However, quantum sensing has the potential to make on-board navigation unjammable, as well as improve radar accuracy. That’s why we’re working with SMEs and academic partners to develop this technology of tomorrow 🧪 Learn more about our work with Dr. Keshav Thirumalai from Infleqtion UK 📹 http://baes.co/QMoc50SUxAU
