Sub Programs
• Submarine Systems Sub Program (Collins)• Future Submarine Sub Program
SEA 1439Background
• Phases 1 & 2: studies into modifications and improvements required to bring the Collins Class SM to full capability.
• The recommendations from those studies were approved in later phases:– Phase 3: Sustainability and Reliability Enhancements– Phase 4A: Replacement Combat System– Phase 4B: Weapon and Sensor Enhancements– Phase 5B.1: Comms Mast and Antenna Replacement
SEA 1439 Phase 3.1 Collins Obsolescence Management
• Scope: – Remediate the existing Integrated Ship
Control Management and Monitoring System (ISCMMS)
– Related improvements to shore based infrastructure
• Schedule– IOC FY 2018/19 – Cost: <$100m
SEA 1439 Phase 3.1
• Industry involvement– ISCMMS was purpose built– Development and maintenance of sufficient capability
to undertake hardware modifications, software porting and through life maintenance
– Upgrade infrastructure requirements as necessary– Through life support
• CDG Project Manager– LCDR Reed Dixon, RAN (PM CSS)
SEA 1439 Phase 5B.2 Collins Communications and Electronic
Warfare Improvement Program• Scope:
– Improve electronic warfare and communications systems fitted to the Collins Class Submarine
– High data rate satellite communications capability– Replacement communications centre– Enhanced shore-based communications centre– Provision of on board Local Area Network– Enhancements to as fitted Electronic Warfare (EW) capability
• Schedule– Year of Decision FY 2014/15-2015/16 – IOC FY 2020/21-2021/22 – Cost: $500m - $1b
SEA 1439 5B2
• Industry involvement– Acquisition of communications equipment– Support activities and systems– Upgrades to existing facilities– Through-life support
• CDG Project Manager– LCDR Reed Dixon, RAN (PM CSS)
SEA 1439 Phase 6Collins Sonar Capability Assurance Program
• Scope: – Upgrade the sonar systems in Collins through a program of
replacement and/or improvement– Includes all aspects of the mission system, from the outboard
sonar arrays to the inboard display consoles and associated processing
– Supporting shore facility infrastructure, including training andintegration capabilities
• Schedule– Year of Decision FY 2014/15-2015/16 – IOC FY 2017/18-2021/22 – Cost: <$1b - $2b
SEA 1439 Phase 6
• Industry involvement– It is likely that the system will be based on similar and
proven systems currently in service in other navies– In-country capacity likely required for project
management, equipment assembly, system integration, training development and support
– Update existing services and facilities• CDG Project Manager
