In May of 2006, "Australia Issues Official Tender for A$ 2.0B Large Amphibious Ships Program" covered Australia's decision to expand its naval expeditionary capabilities, and replace HMAS Manoora and Kanimbla with substantially larger and more capable modern designs featuring strong air support. Navantia and Tenix offered a 27,000t LHD design that resembled the Strategic Projection Ship (Buque de Proyeccion Estrategica) under construction for the Spanish Navy. The DCNS-Thales Australia team, meanwhile, proposed a variation of the 21,300t Mistral Class that is serving successfully with the French Navy.

Navantia's larger design eventually won, giving the Spanish firm an A$11 billion clean sweep of Australia's "Air Warfare Destroyer" and LHD programs. These 5 ships will be the core of Australia's future surface navy, and October 2007 has now seen multi-billion contracts signed for both sets of ships. The latest inclusions involve a combat system & radar integration contract, plus additional information concerning the ships and the program.

2007-11-23 | In June this year the Australian government announced an order for two new amphibious ships for the Australian Defence Force from Tenix-Navantia. As part of this decision the government nominated the Saab 9LV combat management system as the preferred system.

The design, development and integration of the Combat System
Saab is responsible for the design, development and integration of the new ships’ Combat System. Saab will supply the 9LV Combat Management System and Sea Giraffe AMB radar. Special features of the system will include helicopter control, watercraft control and close in self defence against military and asymmetric threats.

“We are very proud to be part of this project to boost the Australia’s amphibious capabilities. Saab is ideally placed to provide the LHD combat system because we have existing skills, experience and infrastructure built up over 17 years of supporting naval combat systems in Australia”, says Merv Davis, Managing Director of Saab Systems Pty Ltd.

Saab the only provider to multiple classes of Australian ships
The Combat Management System to be installed on the LHD is based on the anti-ship missile defence system upgrade being installed across the Australian Navy’s Anzac class ships.

“The selection confirms Saab’s leadership in naval combat systems in Australia with Saab being the only provider to multiple classes of Australian ships”, says Peter Wimmerström, President Saab Systems.
