Subcontracts see further Australian content for Future Submarines

摘要

Two Australian companies have signed subcontracts for the design of subsystems in the Morrison government's Attack class submarines programme. Safran Electronics subcontracted Adelaide-based Acacia Systems and Western-Sydney based Thomas Global Systems for the design of the Optronics Search and Attack, Navigation Radar and Navigation Data Distribution systems. Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said the Morrison Government is committed to maximising Australian industry content. Under the subcontracts, Acacia Systems will deliver prototypes and interface simulators, enabling Lockheed Martin Australia to conduct test activities and validate the integrated performance of the combat system in its Adelaide-based Combat System Architecture Laboratory.
