UNPACKED<br />
The UK’s Ministry of Defense has awarded AUD $7.6<br />
billion (£3.95 billion) of funding to BAE Systems for the<br />
next phase of the UK's next-generation nuclear-powered<br />
attack submarine programme, known as SSN-AUKUS.<br />
This will eventually see Australia and the UK operate<br />
SSN-AUKUS submarines, which will be based on the<br />
UK’s next generation design, incorporating technology<br />
from all three nations, including cutting-edge US<br />
submarine technologies.<br />
Having started early design work in 2021, the funding<br />
will cover development work to 2028, enabling BAE<br />
Systems to move into the detailed design phase of the<br />
programme and begin to procure long-lead items.<br />
BAE said manufacturing would start towards the end of<br />
the decade, with the first SSN-AUKUS boat due to be<br />
delivered in the late 2030s.<br />
