Barum & Dewar were delighted to receive their Cyber Essentials Certificate in recognition of their compliance with this Government backed and industry supported scheme.

The UK Government recently highlighted its plans to invest heavily in Cyber security and British Industry now need to be aware that every British company is a target, every British network will be attacked, and that Cyber crime is not something that happens to other people.

Barum and Dewar take the security of its client’s and supply partner’s data and information extremely seriously and fully support this scheme.

For businesses supplying into the UK Defence sector, the MOD is committed to ensuring it and its supply chain are appropriately protected and has been working jointly with Industry and other Government departments in the Defence Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP) to develop a proportionate means of achieving this. For all new requirements advertised from 1st January 2016 which entail the transfer of MOD identifiable information from customer to supplier or the generation of information by a supplier specifically in support of the MOD contract, MOD will require suppliers to have a Cyber Essentials certificate by the contract start date at the latest, and for it to be renewed annually.

B&D are a key supplier to both the MoD and many UK Prime Contractors who can be re-assured that when engaging with Barum & Dewar all information is appropriately protected against the increasing cyber threat.

B&D’s innovative DELTA® range of fully configurable containers proved the ideal solution once again for the latest SSTL variant of its GMP-T small geostationary satellite platform.The “Eutelsat Quantum” will be SSTL’s first geostationary satellite platform and the design is based on the SSTL GMP-T satellite product, a small and scalable geostationary craft with a design life of 15 years, payload power of up to 7 KW, and payload mass of up to 450kg.

The flexibility offered by the DELTA® style container is a key attraction enabling the almost 4 metre high container to be reduced to less than 1 metre for storage and return shipping. Further features are due to be added to this container in early 2017 as the space qualification model undergoes a series of tests.

The ability to create a bespoke container solution which is re-usable, adaptable, can be reconfigured for future use and reduced in height for empty shipping and storage are just some of the key features of the DELTA® container range.

With height restrictions in many test facilities it becomes impractical to lift a conventionally constructed container lid up and over an almost 4 metre high satellite. With an assembled height of around 4 metres the container not only had to be robust and strong but also needed to be capable of being assembled and opened manually without the need of mechanical cranes. The container was designed in sections with each part easily man handled – the final design also enabled the empty container to be flat packed for storage and empty shipping. The use of aluminium honeycomb panels reduced weight whilst retaining strength.
