For the T31e bid from the Royal Navy, Team 31, an industrial consortium of shipbuilders and designers, was formed. Babcock International Group is the main contractor for this team, of which Thales is also a part. As a high-tech company in the areas of aviation, defense, and information technology, Thales has also made a significant contribution to the T31e bid for the Royal Navy, which was looking for new frigates. They find it important to work with market solutions that already exist, so that five new frigates can be built quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively. Team 31 offers the ideal solution for this: Arrowhead 140.
Frigates for the Royal Navy
Since C4Real has been collaborating with Thales for years in the field of high-quality animations, Thales has put us forward as their partner. In a very short time, we created a highly sophisticated animation to support the T31e bid, which has a total budget of approximately 1.25 billion euros. The animation provides a clear and realistic explanation of the solution that Team 31 offers to the Royal Navy. This has also resulted in winning the bid. With this, Thales secures a multi-million order. It is even the third largest order ever for Thales.

“C4Real and Thales have been working together for years. They help us visualize important projects and solutions. Their specialty in presenting complex technology simply with 3D visualizations is very good. A very pleasant collaboration.”

Successful cooperation between Thales, Babcock, and C4Real
Focus on speed and costs
Rob Assink, Studio Manager at C4Real: “Speed, reliability and cost are very important for the Royal Navy. The goal is to communicate as effectively as possible how Babcock can meet these objectives. And they can. On an existing frigate, they can create the Thales Tacticos Combat Management System and a radar mast. Everything will be exactly as the Royal Navy wants. Because these are modifications to an existing platform, it can be done very quickly. Delivery is scheduled from 2023. Proven, capable and adaptable is the message that is central to the Team 31 communication."

High quality in a short time
"An extra challenge was that it was a pressure cooker production. Under high pressure, something of high quality had to be delivered in a short time. The bottleneck there is rendering. Computers have to calculate each frame in a 3D animation separately. At 25 frames per second, that can take quite a long time. Especially when working with simulations of water, as we have done here.”

Realistic water animations, fast rendering, and co-creation
“In the animation, you see images of the existing Iver Huitfeldt, which transition into a 3D model. We have adapted that into a Royal Navy-ready model. After that, the navy can completely modify it as they wish, and we will show examples of that. This visualization was central to the bid that Team 31 made for the five frigates. Thanks to an upgrade of our render farms, we managed to meet the client's rendering expectations within a short production time. As a result, the animation looks very high-quality, and we delivered it on time. With realistic water simulations. The beauty of this production is that we genuinely worked in co-creation with Thales and Babcock. We already knew each other well, but we had never collaborated this closely before. It worked out great, especially when you see what the joint end result is.”
