The Australian and UK Governments have announced a significant milestone between the Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) and industry partners that will support the delivery of the SSN AUKUS fleet of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines for the Royal Australian Navy.

The ASA (asa.gov.au), BAE Systems and ASC Pty Ltd (asc.com.au) have signed a Tasking Statement, a contractual agreement that supports the joint development of build strategy, supply chain management plans and a workforce development strategy.

Stuart Whiley, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of ASC, said: “The Tasking Statement is an important step in establishing a sovereign nuclear submarine build capability in Australia. The program is anticipated to generate thousands of highly skilled jobs over its lifetime.

"SSN AUKUS is a multi-national, multi-generational programme through which ASC will invest in developing the critical skills required to build a nuclear submarine fleet in Australia. It’s hard to imagine, but the children at school today will be the ones building our submarine fleet of tomorrow.”

Steve Timms, Managing Director, BAE Systems’ Submarines business, said: "SSN AUKUS is our contribution to the critical tri-national security partnership between Australia, the UK and the US. The safe build, test and commissioning of nuclear submarines is a hugely complex engineering endeavour and through these agreements, we’re able to share our vast experience of nuclear submarine capabilities with our industry partners to support the build of submarines in Australia.

"We have a long history of delivering sovereign capability and security in Australia and the UK and the Tasking Statement underpins further support to essential delivery capabilities in Adelaide, with support from Barrow.”

Craig Lockhart, Chief Executive, BAE Systems’ Australia, said: “Focused on stealth and endurance, the SSN AUKUS submarine will integrate cutting edge technologies and advanced materials to enable it to operate the full spectrum of underwater missions, from advanced intelligence and surveillance through to underwater warfare.

“It is a complex build challenge that industry partners are coming together to deliver. Work is underway on defining the delivery schedule, the enablement environment for future information transfer between the UK, US and Australia, as well as design of the new yard at Osborne to accommodate the build.”

Over the past eight months, government and industry partners have made progress across a number of areas for delivery of the SSN AUKUS. In November, the ASA, BAE Systems and ASC signed an AUKUS Mobilisation Deed, which provides a framework to contract with the Australian Government through the ASA. That followed the Heads of Agreement and the tri-lateral announcement of the Commonwealth of Australia’s shipbuilders in March.

Integrated Project Teams are now working to oversee tasks such as nuclear stewardship, infrastructure functional requirements, business enablement and build preparation. Underpinning business functions, such nuclear safety and assurance, engineering and build operations have also been established.
