"Australia's Multi-Billion Dollar Commitment to AUKUS Submarine Project with British-Australian Vendor Team"

Australia has selected BAE Systems and ASC Pty Ltd to collaborate on building and operating its own nuclear-powered submarines under the AUKUS agreement, with the UK's next-generation design serving as the basis. BAE Systems will work with ASC to establish a long-term joint venture in Australia, drawing on their expertise to develop a sovereign nuclear-powered submarine building capability. The SSN-AUKUS program will result in the largest and most advanced attack submarines for the Royal Navy and Australia, with BAE Systems receiving significant funding and expanding its workforce to support the program in both the UK and Australia.
