AVEVA Marine Solutions to be Used by ASC in Maintenance and Upgrades of Australia's Collins Class Submarines
AVEVA announced that it has been selected by ASC (formerly known as the Australian Submarine Corporation) to supply solutions for the maintenance of Australia's Collins Class submarines.
In 2003 ASC, which originally designed and built the submarines, began a 25-year, multi-billion dollar Through-Life Support (TLS) contract with the Defence Material Organisation, the Department of Defence's management organisation responsible for acquiring and sustaining equipment for the Australian Defence Force. Under the contract, ASC is responsible for the ongoing maintenance, design enhancements and support of the Royal Australian Navy's Collins Class submarines.
The six Collins Class submarines are recognised as among the best conventional (non-nuclear) submarines operating anywhere in the world.
Peter Finch, President, AVEVA Asia Pacific, said:
"AVEVA Marine solutions have been adopted in many of the world's leading naval and submarine facilities. We are proud that ASC, Australia's largest specialised defence shipbuilding organisation, has selected us to be used in one of Australia's flagship defence projects."
About ASC Pty Ltd
Initially established in 1985 as Australian Submarine Corporation, ASC was subsequently chosen in 1987 as the prime contractor for the design, manufacture and delivery of the Royal Australian Navy's (RAN) fleet of six Collins Class submarines. In 2003 ASC began a 25-year Through-Life Support contract for the ongoing maintenance, design enhancements and support of the Collins Class submarines.
In 2005, ASC was awarded the role as the shipbuilder for the Hobart Class Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) Program. The project will see the most advanced and complex warships ever built in Australia being constructed at its Osborne, South Australia shipbuilding facility.
Today, ASC has evolved into Australia's largest specialised defence shipbuilding organization. ASC is independent of major product suppliers and has access to critical intellectual property from global suppliers. http://www.asc.com.au/
