SEA 1000 Overview • SEA1000 will deliver Australia’s Future Submarine capability well into

the 21st century, replacing the Collins class at it is withdrawn from

service.

• Contrary to perceptions, much has been achieved since 2013:

– Development of the engineering tools, design brief and illustrative

design, which is guiding our approach to the CEP.

– Maturation of requirements, tested against the design brief and

illustrative design.

– Progress of the S & T program at DSTO.

– Establishment of the Future Submarine Technical Office, which

has evolved from the IPT.


The Future Submarine • Key strategic requirements:

– Range and endurance similar to the Collins class

– Sensor performance and stealth characteristics that are superior

to the Collins class

– The combat system and heavyweight torpedo jointly developed

between the US and Australia as the preferred combat system

and main armament.


What does this mean? • Australia will need a new design to meet its Future Submarine

requirements

– Need to manage design and develop closely from the outset

• Applying lessons from international programs of this nature:

– Risk managed through close engagement between an intelligent

customer and competent designer throughout the design and build

process

– Cost control contingent on a shared and clear understanding of

requirements, cost drivers, and cost-capability trade-offs (through

iterative collaboration

– Risk is also reduced when the designer leads construction

• The design process is resource-intensive, and taking competition into

detailed design is lengthy and problematic

Competitive Evaluation Process • The CEP will inform the Government’s decision on a suitable international

partner to work with Australia to develop and deliver the Future Submarine

– DCNS and TKMS participating under contract to the Commonwealth

– Japan participating under Government-to-Government arrangement

• There are common information requirements of all participants.

• The CEP will consider all responses against the following common criteria:

– Capability (platform and combat system)

– Commercial and Government

– Australian industry involvement

– Cost

– Schedule

– Project Management

– Design and Safety Management

– Sustainment

– Crewing and training

– Risk


Build Options

• CEP participants have been requested to respond against three build

options:

– Overseas build in the home yard of the designer.

– Australian build.

– A hybrid build (a combination of overseas and Australian build).

• In any option, sustainment is regarded as a sovereign Australian

capability with significant industry implications.

• Under all options, the Australian Government is seeking to maximise

the involvement of Australian Industry.


Combat System

Sensors sonar, periscopes etc - which

detect ships, aircraft and other

submarines.

Tactical and Weapon Control Sub-

system (AN/BYG-1) which translates

information from sensors into a tactical

picture showing the location and

movement of the detected ships, aircraft

and other submarines. This system also

fires and controls weapons (principally

torpedos).

Weapons including the torpedoes (Mk 48 Mod

7) and missiles (Harpoon) carried

by the submarine. Torpedoes can

operate autonomously or with

guidance from the submarine.

Ancillary Sub-systems including

countermeasures to defeat enemy

torpedoes, the communications

system, and the navigation system.


INDUSTRY OUTCOMES IN VARIOUS PHASES

Definition Phase Gather industry, Commonwealth and International expertise to

define the program and capability / technical outcomes

Select Phase -

CEP (Pre-

Concept Design)

• Select an international partner

• Catalyse Australian Industry interest and engagement

• Scale and scope Australian Industry participation and

supply chains

• CEP Respondents formulate Australian Industry Plans

Acquire Phase -

Concept Design

Preliminary

Design

Detailed Design

• Launch Australian Industry Plan implementation

• Select major subsystems and tier one vendors

• Launch competitive procurement processes

• Define supply chains and service deliveries

Construction Materiel production, delivery, consolidation and integration

Sustain Phase -

Sustainment

~50 years of ongoing upkeep, update and upgrade


Principles of Engagement with

Participants • Be open and responsive to approaches by CEP participants.

• Ensure all participants are treated fairly and equitably.

• Avoid entering into any form of exclusive teaming arrangements with

a participant.

• Ensure all information received from participants is treated in

confidence.


How to Get Involved • Register on the SEA 1000 web portal at http://sea1000.gov.au. This

is the place to have your data passed on to CEP participants and is

strongly encouraged. Note that the Commonwealth IS NOT selecting

sub contractors.

• Contact your industry association (ABDI, AIG, AIDN) and / or your

respective State Industry Development office.

• Answer participant calls for interest.
