Join us on a journey where innovation meets precision and let Steller Systems be your partner in the world of naval architecture and marine engineering.
At Steller Systems we take pride in being a leading independent consultancy practice, specialising in solving our clients’ naval architecture and marine engineering problems, delivering robust solutions across the surface ship, submarine, and uncrewed vehicle domains.
Steller Systems is not just a consultancy; it’s a commitment to excellence. Our small yet highly focused team is dedicated to achieving the best results for our customers. As a Corporate Partner of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), we uphold and maintain the highest professional standards.
If you’re attending the Annual Maritime Engineering Conference of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors (RCNC), which starts today in Bristol, then don’t miss Steller Systems’ presentation with BAE Systems at 1530.
Steller Systems’ Alastair Wallace and BAE Systems’ Nicola Paterson will be presenting their paper “Optimising the Future Fleet using Deep Learning Tools” which describes how high-speed computing combined with a subset of Artificial Intelligence called Deep Learning is taking ship design optimisation to new levels in terms of both speed and performance results.
BAE Systems is already harvesting the rewards of this new technology by being able to offer better performing and more affordable ships. A future frigate hull design has been optimised so significantly that the resistance has been reduced by 29% at cruise speed and 22% at top speed allowing smaller engines to be fitted whilst improving stability.
Last week Steller Systems conducted an internal Finite Element Analysis (FEA) training course, run by Steller Systems’ Lester Talbot and Richard Burrows.
Continuous Professional Development is an important principle in Steller Systems, but it also provides an opportunity to engage in some fun interaction between colleagues and a chance to bring staff from Steller Systems’ two offices together, taking advantage of our newly expanded office in Hamble.
The entire session was based on two different vessels which Steller Systems are currently working on, bringing context and real-time application to the tutorial. It also provided an opportunity for invaluable Learning from Experience.
Once the presentation was complete, the team were then assigned a modelling task to create an assembly and apply a specific load to analyse the deflection. This included some additional learning opportunities but primarily served to consolidate the day’s learning.
This week we welcome Jordan Christie to Steller Systems.
Jordan is a Chartered Engineer and project manager with seven years’ experience in the naval defence sector. Jordan brings experience of in-service technical support to Royal Navy submarines with particular focus on the provision of specialist hydrostatic and hydrodynamic support.
Jordan joins our Uncrewed and Underwater Systems team and will be based at Steller Systems’ offices in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.
Steller Systems is recruiting talented naval architects and marine engineers at all levels; please see our website for details.
