In 2015, Chess took the opportunity to expand the Naval systems element which enabled Chess to deliver a full end-to-end product. In February 2015, Chess opened a small Naval systems facility on the Plymouth Science Park for 4 engineers. By 2016, Chess were awarded the first part of a contract to deliver Electro-optical systems to the UK Royal Navy Type26 programme.

The team soon grew and one unit on the Plymouth Science Park quickly became two! In 2018, the team grew to 13 strong so the search for a larger facility commenced. The Raleigh Building on the Plymouth Science Park became available and in 2019, the team moved in to the new 'Chess Dynamics Naval Centre of Excellence'.

Chess are proud to be a part of this vital sector and look forward to its bright and exciting future.
