WELCOME TO ASC

Australia’s leading sovereign capability on submarine platforms, associated equipment, systems and suppliers.

ASC built, and now sustains, the Royal Australian

Navy’s (RAN’s) fleet of six Collins Class

submarines (CCSM). ASC is an integral part

of Australia’s maritime defence strategy and

national security framework.

As Australia’s only current submarine industrial

capability, ASC employs more than 900 expert

submarine platform personnel in South Australia

and 390 personnel in Western Australia.

ASC’s team offers sophisticated in-depth

knowledge and capability in submarine

equipment, platform building, maintenance

and enhancement.

Our capability is based at two specialised

construction and maintenance facilities in South

Australia and Western Australia and is highly

aligned with the leading submarine platform

capabilities in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN)

and corresponding submarine industries in

the United States, United Kingdom and several

European nations.

As an industry member of Australia’s Submarine

Enterprise, made up of the RAN, Department of

Defence, ASC (platform systems) and Raytheon

Australia (Combat Systems), ASC supports the

nation’s submarine capability through design,

engineering, maintenance, major equipment

overhaul and test and supply chain services.

ASC identifies and implements design

improvements through a combination of

in-country engineering know-how and extensive

supply chain experience. Combined with more

efficient production and project management

activities, ASC’s design capability has reduced

the time lost to maintenance and improved the

reliability of the submarine fleet in service.

ASC’s track record of continuous improvement,

extensive experience in submarine platforms

and significant investments in infrastructure

has achieved submarine availability beyond

international benchmarks, in collaboration with

our Submarine Enterprise partners.

In response to the Coles Review of 2012 into

Australian submarine fleet maintenance, ASC

achieved a 12-month reduction in the time to

complete a CCSM full-cycle docking, by:

• the cutting and re-welding of the

submarine hull, using submarine build

skills, expertise and equipment;

• the removal and reinstallation of the

engines and main motor for refurbishment

and testing in purpose-built workshops;

• the reallocation of mid-term and short-

term maintenance activities to ASC West,

now responsible for more significant

maintenance activities in support of five

submarines in Western Australia.

ASC continues to work closely with our

Submarine Enterprise partners to achieve

submarine availability beyond international

benchmarks, as well as capture new work to

support the growth of our sovereign submarine

capabilities and strengthen Australia’s

regional superiority.

ASC is committed to the professional

development of its workforce, as well as

attracting and retaining the very best candidates

for diverse submarine roles. We continue

to develop long-term, mutually beneficial

partnerships with the RAN, the Capability

Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG)

within the Department of Defence and the

broader national and international

defence industry.

ENGINEERING EXPERTISEAustralia’s only mature sovereign submarine platform engineering capability, providing partners with unparalleled engineering know-how combined with Australian submarine context.

ASC’s submarine-related engineering capabilities

are unparalleled within Australia’s defence

industry. Our team offers extensive experience

in the many engineering functional disciplines

associated with submarines and associated

future capabilities.

ASC’s design and engineering capability in

submarine platforms and major equipment is

supported by 250 specialist engineers

and technical staff.

Engineering capabilities span across a range

of maintenance and design tasks, from the

resolution of an urgent defect whilst finding the

root causes that have led to the disruption of

performance, to the development of bespoke

repair instructions that enable the complete

overhaul of submarines within deep

level maintenance.

ASC’s combined engineering and design

efforts not only saw a reduction in the CCSM

deep maintenance period from three years

to two, but achieved a 30% cost reduction

whilst maintaining the functionality, safety, and

environmental compliance of the submarine to

the stringent requirements mandated

within defence.

ASC’s design capability is utilised when a

change to the concept plan is identified, leading

to subsequent sea verification trials to ensure

technical integrity is maintained.

High functionality and reliability is achieved to

maximise the stealth and survivability of the

platform. This has allowed ASC to overcome

gaps encountered within international industry

experience and knowledge when faced with

reliability challenges, and implement innovative

repair solutions within the tight confines of the

submarine hull and rigid maintenance schedules.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTEffectively managing a network of specialist suppliers for the nation’s submarines. Recognised as an industry leader in ‘step change’ improvements in supply chain management.

ASC has successfully transitioned the Collins

Class from a European supplier base to an

Australian supplier base, optimising and

localising international equipment and platform

designs for Australian conditions.

During the build phase of the Collins Class

Submarine program in the 1990s the supply

chain was approximately 70% Australian

industry content, and now ASC manages a

supply chain of more than 90% (approximately

1800) Australian suppliers.

This delivers benefits to the RAN of timely and

reliable resupply as well as increased sovereign

control of submarine maintenance.

The total cost of ownership of a submarine is

heavily influenced by its material costs. ASC

manages the procurement of equipment and

parts for the repair and assembly of the Collins

Class platform. ASC’s experience in submarine

supply chains spans the entire life cycle of a

submarine from design concept, preliminary

and detailed design through construction,

sustainment and upgrade.

ASC partners with suppliers to provide in-country

capability on behalf of the CCSM Original

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and places

great importance on successfully managing a

large, complex and diverse supplier network

to deliver value as part of a submarine build or

maintenance program.

Our procurement team effectively manages a

range of suppliers - including those overseas

– to readily source materials needed to meet

program schedules. ASC utilises strategic

sourcing, supplier management and inventory

and warehouse management to deliver a quality

product that offers value for money.

Ongoing category management, spares

assessment and inventory analysis ensures

optimised inventory holdings are part of a strong

collaboration with partners, while quality and

vendor management systems ensure the highest

quality of services and supplies.
