Babcock and Truflo Marine have launched a pilot initiative to strengthen UK-Australia submarine sustainment supply chains under AUKUS, with Australian-made valve components set to support the sustainment of the Royal Navy’s Astute-class submarine fleet.
AUKUS in Australia is taking another significant step forward with the Australian Government selecting Lockheed Martin Australia as the preferred combat system integration partner for Australia’s future fleet of Virginia-class submarines.
Australia has launched the life extension program for its Collins-class submarines, with HMAS Farncomb set to become the first boat to undergo major sustainment and upgrade work.
