IZAR Signs Contract with Royal Australian Navy to Develop a Strategic Projection Ship


(Source: Izar; dated Oct. 8, web-posted Oct. 22, 2004)

(Issued in Spanish; unofficial translation by defense-aerospace.com)


IZAR has signed a contract with the Royal Australian Navy to develop a strategic projection ship. The contract’s initial phase – a feasibility study of the ship’s design – is valued at $2 million.

The contract reinforces Izar’s international position as a builder of this class of ship, which is a combination aircraft carrier and amphibious ship.

The Royal Australian Navy’s requirements are about 95% similar to those of the strategic projection ship for which Izar has been awarded a contract by the Spanish Navy. IZAR is facing a single competitor, the French DCN shipyards.

The initial feasibility phase will consist of six months of engineering work. Once concluded, if Izar’s proposal is accepted, new contracts will be negotiated for successive program phases, including functional project design and detailed architecture study. The contracts, which could include a substantial transfer of technology, would also include technical assistance and support during the shipbuilding phase.

Systems Engineering Support Sought for Air Warfare Destroyer Project


(Source: Australian Department of Defence; issued Oct. 23, 2004)


The Howard Government has today advertised a tender seeking an Australian based combat system engineering company to support the Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) program.

Defence Minister Robert Hill said the combat system tender follows last week's release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Australian shipbuilders to bid for the contract to build the Navy's Air Warfare Destroyers - one of Australia's largest and most complex Defence projects.

"The Government has now moved quickly to engage Australian industry in the additional major work needed for the AWD program as promised during the election campaign," Senator Hill said.

"This is a challenging systems engineering project. The successful tenderer will be required to work with Defence and the US Navy in developing a total combat system for the AWD using AEGIS as the core.

"The world-class AEGIS system that will be fitted to the new AWDs will be capable of detecting and defeating multiple hostile aircraft and missiles at ranges in excess of 150 kilometres. This will be in addition to anti-submarine and anti-shipping capability and sensors to detect ballistic missiles in flight.
