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the 21st century, replacing the Collins class at it is withdrawn from service.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 SystemSensors 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
Done

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.
