SEA 1000 Overview SEA1000 will deliver Australia s Future Submarine capability well into the 21 st century, replacing the Collins class at it is withdrawn from service.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. 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. Tactical and Weapon Control Subsystem (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). Ancillary Sub-systems including countermeasures to defeat enemy torpedoes, the communications system, and the navigation system.
INDUSTRY OUTCOMES IN VARIOUS PHASES Definition Phase Select Phase - CEP (Pre- Concept Design) Acquire Phase - Concept Design Preliminary Design Detailed Design Construction Sustain Phase - Sustainment Gather industry, Commonwealth and International expertise to define the program and capability / technical outcomes 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 Launch Australian Industry Plan implementation Select major subsystems and tier one vendors Launch competitive procurement processes Define supply chains and service deliveries Materiel production, delivery, consolidation and integration ~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.
