Shared Infrastructure revolutionises the way ships operate by using virtual technologies to host and integrate the sensors, weapons and management systems that complex warships require. “They will also be the first ships to be built with a BAE Systems designed, new state-of-the-art operating system called Shared Infrastructure, which will be rolled out across the Royal Navy’s surface fleet over the next ten years. In fact, the Queen Elizabeth class uses a proprietary operating system designed by BAE Systems, known as Shared Infrastructure. Windows XP, Windows 7, and other versions - as well as other operating systems - have been used by contractors installing and testing equipment onboard the new carrier, but none of these will be used when the ship enters full operational service. Indeed, the Ministry of Defence explicitly confirmed in 2015 that 'Windows XP will not be used by any onboard system when the ship becomes operational,' adding that 'this also applies to HMS Prince of Wales', the second carrier in the Queen Elizabeth class. In that context, claims that the Queen Elizabeth uses Windows XP appeared credible, and weren't refuted by the UK's Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, when he was asked about the ship's use of XP on BBC Radio 4 this week.īut as the UK Defence Journal explained, the Queen Elizabeth does not use Windows XP for its computer systems.

Much of the Royal Navy fleet uses a specialized, hardened version of Windows 2000, dubbed 'Windows for Warships'. Some even reported that the ship is vulnerable to cyberattacks as a result. The mighty aircraft carrier - the first of its class, and the largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy - is expected to enter service in 2020, taking over from helicopter carrier HMS Ocean as the fleet flagship.īut the Queen Elizabeth's first operations at sea were slightly overshadowed by numerous media reports claiming that the vessel's computer systems run the obsolete Windows XP, calling into question the wisdom of that decision, and raising concerns over the security of the new carrier. This week, the new flagship of the UK's Royal Navy, HMS Queen Elizabeth, began its first sea trials.
