Description

The Authority intends to publish all Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) Combat System Data Exchange Specifications (DESs) on the GRIFFIN Database. BAE had provided confirmation of their IPR position which support DES release, but warned the Authority that some DESs may include Third Party IP. With no explicit released caveats placed within the DESs, if you believe your company has IP contained within specific documents and you wish the Authority to not to expose through GRIFFIN, you are requested to inform the Authority of your objection, with a reason for retention, by the 3 March 2023.

The GRIFFIN Database is an Authority controlled (through CDSA IA via the SEA NSIPs contract) computer-based repository which contains interface/linking documentation and configuration information for a multitude of RN platforms. GRIFFIN can only be accessed by those who hold an account for the system. Authority approved suppliers and MOD staff are able to view all documents pertinent for design, integration and configuration control purposes.
