Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance

The Air Warfare Destroyer Project was “the most complex ship construction undertaken in Australia” – and it needed a website to match.

Boylen works closely with the Defence Teaming Centre and website design for defence industry is a specialty. The AWD Alliance included Defence, shipbuilder ASC and mission systems integrator Raytheon Australia. In addition, the Alliance worked with the likes of Navantia, the US Navy and Lockheed Martin to deliver the ships’ Aegis Combat System.

The aim of the website was to showcase the alliance partners, congratulate the people involved and encourage others to consider careers in the expanding defence sector in South Australia. Mission accomplished!

See our work with ANI, Airspeed, Codan etc on our Websites For Defence page.

For such a multifaceted project, the beauty of the website is its simplicity. It cuts through the complexity of the ship build to tell a compelling story that is “people centric” and engaging.

The design took its inspiration from the award-winning book, The Voyage of the Sea Warfare Destroyer.

To achieve the “storytelling” nature of the website, we concentrated heavily on videos, photographs and key milestones.

The immediate response when we shared the initial design was, “Wow, it looks exactly like us.”
