To date, this is one of the most important contracts
delivered by Drumgrange and the third time it has won the JC026 contract.
The initial contract was secured in 1999 and re-competed in 2002 and
2007. The Contract was won in competition against some of the world’s
largest Defence Contractors and builds upon Drumgrange's strategy of
providing high quality services and equipment to meet demanding front
line military operations.
The contract will be managed from Drumgrange’s Portland site and
will utilise the company’s extensive platform integration expertise
and in-service support specialised facilities which includes an anechoic
water tank for testing sonar systems.
George Howe, Managing Director, who was involved with the original equipment
design and sea trials, commented:
“Securing the JCO contract for the third time reflects the
dedication, professionalism, and “can do” attitude of the
support and trials team whilst demonstrating the MoD’s continued
confidence in the company’s ability to deliver critical capabilities
for the Armed Forces”.
