Safran: contract for Australian submarines
(CercleFinance.com) - Safran has announced today that it has been selected by Lockheed Martin Australia, along with the Australian Defense Department, to design three parts of the Australian Navy's future submarine program.
As part of this 36.77 million dollar contract, which will be in force until May 2023, Safran will provide the detailed design of the optronic watch and attack masts, the navigation radar and the navigation system. Safran will deliver prototypes and simulators to Lockheed Martin to enable integration into the combat system.
"It will also see Safran establish sovereign capabilities at its new facility in Botany, NSW, for the build, integration and ongoing sustainment of these components. As part of its delivery of this work, Safran will subcontract two Australian companies, Acacia Systems and Thomas Global Systems, for the design and development of software and hardware, respectively. The contract will result in more than 11 full-time positions being created and sustained locally across Safran and its partners."
