Progress on the facility is progressing to schedule and ASC Shipbuilding hopes to begin gaining access to the yard in March 2020.“I walked through the shipyard yesterday and it’s coming along quickly, they were putting the last side section on the main, 50-metre high, final assembly building and then the roof structure goes on,” Lockhart said on August 28.“The key challenge is for us to get in early and integrate what I call the ‘shipyard production process’ within the infrastructure. Navy will receive nine Hunter class frigates, built in South Australia to BAE System’s Global Combat Ship (GCS) design and, although optimised for the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) role, they are intended to be equally adept at Air Warfare and a number of other roles.A number of sovereign features will separate the Hunter variant of the GCS from the UK’s City class ASW frigates (Type 26), including integration of CEA Technologies’ new generation CEAFAR2 radar, Lockheed Martin’s Aegis Combat System and an Australian tactical interface developed by Saab Australia.The program calls for steel to be cut on the first vessel in Osborne in late 2022 with the lead ship, HMAS The nine ships form part of the Commonwealth’s Continuous Naval Shipbuilding Strategy and will be built in three flights of three vessels, to ensure the design keeps abreast of rapidly evolving technology.
Also referred to as Global Combat Ship Australia (GCS-A) during the design competition, the frigate is the Australian version of Type-26 global combat ship (GCS) under construction for the Royal Navy. The class will replace 8 of the 13 Type 23 frigates of the Royal Navy and export orders are being sought after by BAE. Both Australia and Canada have now chosen the Type 26 design as the baseline for their respective warship programmes. Also, things like, how is Aegis being delivered through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement? “As BAE Systems and ASC Shipbuilding, we have to provide the customer with an assurance that when this platform comes together, the whole platform is cyber-accredited - and that inevitably flows through the supply chains. The Type 26 class will partially replace the navy's thirteen Type 23 frigates, and will be a multi-mission warship designed to support anti-submarine warfare, air defence and general purpose operations.. Construction.

Since the bay includes network interfaces, self-contained UV systems can be plugged straight into the ships power and command networks. The program is projected to cost A$35bn with production scheduled to start in 2020. BAE Systems’s Type 26 design was selected for the Australian Navy’s Future Frigate program in June 2018. That’s probably the challenge that will test us hardest.”Canada will acquire 15 ships, to be built locally by Irving Shipbuilding at its yard in Halifax, Nova Scotia under a C$45 billion deal to replace the Royal Canadian Navy’s current fleet of 12 Halifax class and three Iroquois class destroyers. The Type 26 Global Combat Ship will be a world-class anti-submarine warfare ship. It really is the ability to test without the fear of it going wrong – I’d rather have it go wrong and have the ability to appraise, amend and improve through prototyping.”ASC Shipbuilding has already begun work on prototyping, long before steel is cut on the first hull block at the end of 2020 and is now actively engaged with local South Australian companies to work on the development of the digital work order process.On July 9 for example, Defence Minister Linda Reynolds used a visit to BAE System’s Govan shipyard to announce that Adelaide-based Airspeed had become the latest Australian SME to win work on the GCS program.Airspeed will provide the Replenishment At Sea (RAS) ‘stump mast’ for the Royal Navy’s first three ships between now and 2023. Craig Lockhart said the review made 42 recommendations – fewer than the Type 26 design at a similar stage and reflecting the growing maturity of the GCS family design.“Each of the recommendation categories were things that we were already actively working on with the Commonwealth and they were all broadly related to the changes above the main deck,” he said.
