DragonFire is MBDA’s new Laser Directed Energy Weapon that we are developing for the royal Navy. A critical component of this system is the Command and Control (C2) system that integrates the different components of the weapon system together, provides digital integration of the weapon system to the ship’s systems and sensors, and provides the operator with the means to plan and execute laser engagements. Reporting to the Head of C2, you will provide day-to-day management, direction and technical leadership for the multi-disciplinary Common Architecture Team (CAT) responsible for the design of the C2.
