Mr Richard Hamilton Manufacturing & Support Director, BAE Systems plc Typhoon Total Availability Enterprise (TyTAN)

• 10-year deal for all aspects of Typhoon operational support – Brings together several legacy contracts into one arrangement – 10 year framework allows industry to make long term investments to optimise support • Target price 38% lower than previous arrangements – Unachieveable through “business as usual” negotiation with single-source supplier • Reinvestment of support savings directly in platform capability development The Challenge

• Driving recurring support costs down will allow recycling of c.£0.5bn into capability programmes • Enhanced operational effectiveness of the Typhoon weapon Enhance Typhoon system to support UK RAF requirements Product Typhoon Export sales dependent upon cost efficiencies being • DO MORE realised TyTAN – A Step Change in Typhoon Support – Joint Plan

• Agreement signed Jul 2016 Replaced existing multiple support contracts with a single output-based availability service Jointly developed by BAE Systems and MoD under Future Support Operating Model project during 2015/16

• Delivers flying hours, simulator availability and pilot training in support of the Typhoon Force Command Plan

27 Transformation Cultural Change – The Challenge

Changing legacy cultures and behaviours key to TyTAN’s success Three dimensions of change; BAE Systems – DE&S – Air Command BAE Systems Front Office vs Back Office European Collaboration Requires all teams to be focused on the priorities of the solution; Flying Hour & Pilot competency Maintaining Airworthiness Achieving Transformation & Efficiency Enabling Recycling for Capability

From Customer / Supplier to Partnering to Enterprise

28 TyTAN – What have we learnt?

• Early alignment of objectives (around operational output) is crucial • Re-investment of support savings is a powerful incentive to all • Trust takes time to build; transformation and cultural change is a c5 year process; long term security is Relentless focus on: needed to enable investment Doing the right thing, at the right time, in the • Customer has to change too and work in a highly right place, with the right behaviours integrated way with industry for the common good Driving out / avoiding waste • Leadership demonstration of changed behaviours essential Delivering the Operational Output • All parties need a mature understanding of each other's business, motivations and cost drivers

29 Conclusions & Future Relationships • Identify good practice inter-organizationally & adopt it • DE&S and Industry will continue working together: trust achieved through shared values - ‘win-win criteria’ - clear contracted responsibilities & open communications • Innovation & coherence - together • Consider intelligent support on future Foreign Military Sale platforms • Remain flexible - resources likely to need further balancing • Make Plan A work; reflect that perhaps there never was a Plan B… “The Snowplough Test”
