Victorian Maritime Industry Capabilities VICTORIAN DEFENCE ALLIANCE MARITIME Our Mission Increase national and global supply opportunities with Prime Defence contractors and within the alliance. Help industry participants bid for work in all aspects of HMAS SYDNEY FIRING SM2 the Australian Defence Maritime system programs and Victorian built Anzac Class frigate fires an SM2 missile test at the Pacific Missile Range Facility near Hawaii. other Government Maritime programs. Provide support for opportunities arising from related research and development programs. Foreword I am proud to introduce the Victorian Defence Alliance - Maritime (VDA-M). VDA-M is an initiative aimed at delivering increased capability to Australian Defence by promoting collaboration between Victoria’s strong Defence based industry and Defence Primes and others looking for contractors with the right ability and attitude required to meet the demands of Defence supply. VDA-M presents a real opportunity for Defence Primes and other organisations involved in Maritime projects to approach one coordinated body with a strong network within Victoria that will enable them to focus their efforts on supply chain opportunities and defence capability development. VDA-M also provides a unique platform for networking and brings together specialist companies to collaborate and drive innovation across all Defence Maritime Systems including the important Submarine sector. The participation of many leading companies in VDA-M is testimony to the depth and diversity of the Maritime and Submarine capability based in Victoria. VDA-M aims to become the essential first port of call for all industries seeking advanced Defence capability for manufacturing and sustainment. I invite all those interested in Maritime projects to support those companies that are featured in this publication. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, please contact me or one of the members of my committee - we would be delighted to assist. HMAS TOOWOOMBA John Bolton Anzac Class Frigate HMAS Toowoomba returns from Gulf Deployment, Friday 14 June 2013. The Anzac Class were Chairman constructed at the Williamstown shipyard in Victoria by Tenix Defence (now part of BAE Systems) with the first being Victorian Defence Alliance - Maritime commissioned in May 1996. CANBERRA CLASS LHD UNDER CONSTRUCTION The Canberra Class Landing Helicopter Dock ship under construction at BAE Systems Williamstown shipyard with Melbourne’s skyline in the background. BAE Systems is the Prime Contractor on the LHD project (Joint Project 2048 Phase 4A/4B) and works in close cooperation with subcontractors Navantia, Saab and L-3 Communications. The Canberra Class will deliver the Australian Defence Force a massive boost to its maritime and amphibious capability. The two LHDs will enable the ADF to combine sea, air and ground forces for humanitarian assistance or evacuation, stabilisation and reconstruction operations, presence and deterrence, policing operations, special recovery operations and conflicts.

The development and testing process was long, incloved, and troubled, and deliveries did not begin until 2005. The Bushmaster is based on a design originally conceived by the Irish company of Timoney; considerable portions of the Bushmaster are therefore manufactured under a licensing agreement with Timoney, though production is undertaken wholly in Australia. ADI began the part of the design process done in Australia, but production later passed to Thales Australia, who also developed several variants. (Virtually all of these variants differ primarily in internal arrangements and equipment; externally, almost all of the different versions differ little from each other.) The primary users of the Bushmaster are the Australian Army and Air Force, but it is also used by the Dutch Army and British Army.

  • Australia's National Heritage
    HMVS Cerberus VITORC IA Named after the three-headed mythological guard dog, Australia’s HMVS Cerberus was purpose-built for the Victorian Colonial Navy in 1868. The prototype of modern steam-powered battleships, her unique design laid the foundations for all surface, gun-armed warships for a century, until the advent of guided missiles in the late 1960s. The heavy iron superstructure and lighter iron hull were a radical departure from the wooden warships that had previously dominated world navies. I n the 1860s, the Victorian Government was in the market for a powerful warship. Britain and Russia prepared to face each other in battle again as the threat of a second Crimean War became very real. The Australian colonies, half a world away from Britain, faced the possibility of hostile attack by a Russian flotilla. Her main armament consisted of four 10-inch muzzle HMVS was the flagship of theV ictorian Cerberus loading guns mounted in two turrets. Cerberus’ guns were Colonial Navy, protecting Melbourne and Victoria’s rich capable of firing a round every 1.5 minutes; exceptionally gold resources from foreign attack.

  • Naval Shipbuilding Plan
    FOREWORD We are pleased to launch Australia’s first Naval Shipbuilding Plan to complement the strategic, capability investment, and industry plans for the Defence portfolio that were set out in the Turnbull Government’s 2016 Defence White Paper, 2016 Integrated Investment Program and 2016 Defence Industry Policy Statement. The Plan sets out how our Government is delivering on our commitment to build a strong, sustainable and innovative Australian naval shipbuilding industry. It provides the foundation for implementing the Government’s unprecedented commitment to the greatest regeneration of our country’s naval capability since the Second World War. At the same time it will create a long-term, sustainable naval shipbuilding and ship sustainment capability that will serve our strategic and economic interests for many decades. We are a maritime nation and our security depends on a modern and effective Navy. Our investment will ensure protection of our maritime borders, secure our immediate northern approaches and proximate sea lines of communications, and enable us to project force in the maritime environment. The Plan demonstrates how we are looking to the future and sets out the Australian Government’s vision to deliver and sustain modern, capable naval vessels, on time and on budget, maximising Australian industry involvement and contributing to a secure and prosperous future for our nation. The Coalition Government has taken decisive action to commence continuous naval shipbuilding as soon as practicable, bringing forward construction dates for both the offshore patrol vessels and future frigates. We have invested in the design and construction of the modern infrastructure needed in our construction shipyards to deliver complex warships and submarines on a continuous build basis.
