Collins Class Submarine sustainment

ASC has proudly served as Australia’s sovereign submarine builder and sustainer for more than 35 years.

ASC built Australia’s Collins Class submarines and now sustains them, while providing in-operation service and support to ensure the fleet’s ongoing availability and capability for the Royal Australian Navy. ASC upgrades the Collins fleet with the latest in advanced sonar systems, decoy methods and radars at specialised facilities in South Australia and Western Australia.

ASC is the only organisation in Australia that provides this level of submarine sustainment and expertise.

Collins Life of Type Extension

The Life of Type Extension (LOTE) of the Collins Class fleet will provide the nation with a potent, conventionally powered submarine capability into the 2030s. 

The Collins Class are internationally regarded as being among the best conventional submarines in the world. ASC will continue to deliver high levels of submarine performance and availability to the Royal Australian Navy as the LOTE project is implemented.
