Challenge
The programme required a partner to develop system and software capabilities for test rigs supporting a next-generation aerial platform with a flagship Defensive Aid system. The challenge was to establish a scalable engineering foundation while ensuring alignment across system design, testing and regulatory requirements.
Solution
Quest Global delivered integrated systems and software engineering capability with end-to-end technical leadership.
Embedded senior systems and software engineering team to drive architecture and programme delivery
Development of Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and full lifecycle documentation, including system design, testing and project planning
Creation of high-fidelity emulators for connected subsystems to enable early validation
Risk mitigation through simulation-led testing and early-stage system verification
Results – At A Glance
Establishment of a UK-based Centre of Competency, supported by global engineering capability
End-to-end design leadership with structured technical governance and milestone delivery
Faster development cycles enabled through concurrent and collaborative engineering
Reduced dependency on customer teams, enabling focus on strategic priorities
