ASC and BAE Systems will form an incorporated Joint Venture (IJV) to construct Australia’s conventionally armed, nuclear-powered SSN-AUKUS submarines at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in South Australia.
Once enacted, the IJV will be accountable for the submarines’ delivery and the associated safety, security and regulatory compliance.
Work on the first SSN-AUKUS submarine is scheduled to get underway before the end of this decade, with delivery to the Royal Australian Navy from the early 2040s.
