The project is being delivered under an Alliance contract arrangement between the Commonwealth of Australia (represented by the Defence Materiel Organisation) as owner-participant, ASC and Raytheon Australia.
The Bridge for the first destroyer that is under
construction as part of the Air Warfare
Destroyer (AWD) project was this week lifted onto the ship structure.
The AWD Alliance completed this work
on Wednesday morning.
The block is a combination of two smaller blocks constructed by lead
shipbuilder ASC and weighing more
than 200 tonnes, it is the biggest to be added to the ship structure to date.
The forward superstructure houses the ship’s command hub - the Bridge and the
Operations Room (Combat Information Centre).
The AWD Alliance is responsible for delivering the three
destroyers to the Royal Australian Navy and is made up of the DMO representing
the Australian Government, ASC as the lead shipbuilder and Raytheon Australia as the mission systems integrator.
The project is being delivered under an Alliance contract arrangement between the Commonwealth of Australia (represented by the Defence Materiel Organisation) as owner-participant, ASC and Raytheon Australia.
