The nose cone was sponsored and manufactured by Big Bear on one of its rotary vacuum-forming machines, using clear polycarbonate sheet kindly supplied by SABIC. The team of eight Masters-level students will be taking their human-powered craft, named 'HPS Godiva', to the ISR in Maryland, USA, which runs from 22nd - 26th June 2015. A whole host of novel technologies have resulted in the most technically advanced submarine ever designed by Warwick students. They will be competing with teams from across Europe, Asia and America, and will be judged on design, quality of manufacture and lessons learned as well as awards for outright speed, agility & innovation. Big Bear's General Manager, Mark Lingwood, said: "We are delighted to be supporting these talented young engineers. Big Bear felt it was important to encourage the students and lend our advice and expertise to this very exciting project." The Warwick Sub Project Leader, Richard Freeman, commented: "On behalf of the Warwick Sub team I would like to thank Big Bear ever so much for all the work that you have done in manufacturing the nosecones for us. We are extremely happy with the final result (especially the transparency) and we can't thank you enough for orchestrating things in order to get them done in advance of our shipping date."
