MAS in the NW
•Headquartered in Warton
•Total number of employees: 12,900
BAE Systems’ economic importance to the North West
– The North West is by far the most important region for BAE Systems in the UK, accounting for about half of its 35,000 UK employees
– These include 9,300 skilled technical jobs, and 6,000 managerial and professional jobs
– For every 10 jobs directly supported by BAE Systems in the NW another 13 are created in the supply chain
– More suppliers in the North West (1,200) than any other region

MAS mission
“Working as an integral part of the team delivering effective air power, our aim is to give real advantage to the men and women of our Customers’ armed forces. Trusted to deliver - always.”
The MAS team
MAS Through-Life ApproachApprox 1,500 people on RAF bases focusing on the customer’s immediate needs
Approx 1,000 People focussed on the customers’ long term needs
Approx 14,500 (predominately in the NW) providing core capability
The UK Environment – our needs
– Strategic Dialogue and Joint Planning to optimise efficient supply of capability
– A partnering relationship that enables optimum behaviour and mutual benefit
– Sustainment of industrial capabilities and capacity to provide responsive support to the front line and to underpin exports
– Recognition of the role defence plays in the sustainment of UK/foreign relations and the UK economy
Partnering in action
Harrier - £44m cost savings. 11 extra aircraft available to the frontline.
Tornado - Saving of £500m over 10 years. Reduced workload maintenance hours by 50%.
Hawk - Exceeding 95% Dispatch Reliability, saving 10% of cost
Nimrod MR2 - 40% Increase in Aircraft Availability, 8% Cost Reduction VC10 - costs reduced by 20% and increased availability
Typhoon - entry into service and QRA deployment
UOR Support to current operations
Investment in technology
Investment & consolidation of footprint
Building work at RAF Marham - increased MAS presence on base Proposed mixed use development on periphery of Warton site- 19 acres of disused land
Samlesbury site development - expansion of manufacturing, engineering and office space
Investment in skills
– In 2008
– 1,000 new recruits– 135 graduates & apprentices joined the team– £9.5 million spent on learning & development– 133 Association of Project Management passes in 2008
UK Opportunities & Challenges
– Establish a mutually beneficial long-term partnering agreement with the UK Customer
– Typhoon Tranche 3
– Deliver Saudi contract
– Develop our UAV capabilities (Taranis & Mantis)
– F35
– Production ramp up
– Tech Transfer
– UK commitment
– Nimrod MRA 4 and Woodford site
International Opportunities & Challenges
Combat Aircraft– Addressable market large – up to 900 aircraft (c £90Bn through-life
value) – US competitors either ageing (e.g. F-15/18) or currently not available
(e.g. F-22)– F-35 and Typhoon capable of dominating the sector
Unmanned Air Systems (UAS)– Sector with greatest long-term growth potential– Product differentiation and time to market key– Opportunity for UK to continue a lead position in Aerospace
Summary
– We and our supply chain play an unique role in supporting the UK’s Armed Forces
– We support UK operations in terms of industrial responsiveness and self-determination for operational capability.
– It is essential that we secure Tranche 3
– A UAV programme will prepare us for future requirements and a leading aerospace position
– The decisions we make now will determine future success in the export markets
