Improving radar system performance with ADEWS-RAMtr@ck

BMT's ADEWS-RAMtr@ck provides the UK MoD with accurate, real-time monitoring of Air Defence and Electronic Warfare assets - enhancing availability, reducing costs, and driving performance-based decision-making.

Requirements

The UK Ministry of Defence’s Air Defence and Electronic Warfare Systems (ADEWS) programme required a robust and independent means of assessing the in-service performance of land-based radar and simulation training systems.

The system needed to collect accurate, real-time data on equipment usage, incidents, and maintenance to determine whether contractual requirements and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were being achieved.

The customer also required secure access for multiple stakeholders to monitor and analyse data collaboratively, ensuring transparency and value for money.

Solutions

We delivered the ADEWS-RAMtr@ck service, an advanced performance measurement and asset management information system.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience in defence analytics, we designed a flexible, web-enabled platform capable of both online and offline operation.

ADEWS-RAMtr@ck captures detailed information on system usage, failures, defects, and maintenance activities, providing a full picture of operational performance.

It enables operators and maintainers to log data in real time, with automated reporting dashboards that visualise availability, utilisation, and reliability.

The system supports performance-based contracting by offering accurate, independently verified metrics against contractual standards.

Benefits

Through ADEWS-RAMtr@ck, the customer gained total visibility of equipment performance across multiple radar and training assets.

The service enables early identification of weaknesses, informed decisions on system upgrades, and justification for future investment.

Its intuitive reporting tools and independent validation promote trust between the MoD, suppliers, and maintainers.

The result is improved operational efficiency, reduced whole-life costs, and optimised asset availability.

By ensuring accurate, data-driven performance measurement, ADEWS-RAMtr@ck strengthens accountability, transparency, and the long-term effectiveness of the UK’s air defence training and support infrastructure.
