Company Description
Shoal is a complex systems design company. Using Systems Engineering combined with Modelling, Simulation and Analysis, Shoal supports clients to define, analyse, decide, optimise, and deliver technology-intensive projects in complex environments. In Defence and Space projects and programs, complexity can rapidly escalate and create pressure on already tight schedules, capability realisation, and budgets. Or all three. Shoal's approach is not to reduce or oversimplify; embracing the uncertainty in complexity, to mitigate risks and capitalise on project opportunities.

Capability Description
Shoal are leaders in Digital Engineering, with over two decades of experience in Defence and Space. They apply Systems Engineering and Modelling, Simulation & Analysis tools and approaches to the design and construction of complex systems. This enables stakeholders to capture, rigourously structure, analyse, and make data-informed decisions about their acquisitions or system wide design activity. Through this, Shoal expertly co-ordinates and delivers a better understanding of operational effectiveness and impacts, fundamentally aligned with required operational performance and outcomes.

Capability Description
Shoal uses physics-based Modelling, Simulation, and Analysis across descriptive, numerical, and analytical models, to interpret and optimise complicated systems. The creation of representative models enables characterisation of these systems, through simulations, to gain a deep understanding of system performance. For clients in Defence and Space, this means that there is no need to pre-procure and commit to physical trials of a system to ensure that it is fit-for-purpose. Instead, Shoal’s approach enables insights to be gained that allow for rapid iteration, driving cost-effective and faster acquisition timelines.

Capability Description
Shoal are leaders in Systems Thinking and have been expertly applying Systems Engineering tools and approaches to complex problems in Defence and Space for almost 25 years. From concept, to architecture, through to design, Shoal uses this methodology to assess and resolve complexity and risk. These projects often have many moving elements that are interrelated and technically challenging, so Shoal engineers solutions to support partners to develop new capability or introduce new technology fundamentally aligned with required operational performance and outcomes.
