Lockheed Martin has released a call for stage one of an R&D program for the combat system of Australia’s Future Submarine Program.
Lockheed Martin has been chosen as the combat system integrator for Australia’s Future Submarine Program, partnering with the Department of Defence and Naval Group to design and integrate the combat system for the future fleet.
"The Future Submarine Combat System Program presents an opportunity for Australian Industry and Academics to participate in an exciting and strategically important program to build and maintain an enduring and regionally superior Australian submarine capability," a release on the Defence Innovation Network's website reads.
"This is a long program and the technological solutions potentially sought may not necessarily have been invented yet. Therefore, research and development (R&D) will play an integral function in the successful delivery of the program."
For stage one, white papers on scientific or technical merit on ideas or technology are being sought, with up to $75,000 being offered for successful projects that are scoped for six months, with the potential to receive additional funding for up to $1 million for stage two.
Proposals are due on 2 September 2019.
The topics of the R&D Program are as follows:
