Aurizn and PMB Defence (PMB) have entered into a partnering arrangement in support of the UK nuclear submarine program. Under the agreement, Aurizn will provide specialist technical support for electrical battery systems, contributing to PMB’s delivery of this capability.
“We are pleased to partner with PMB on this important program. This collaboration brings together the strengths of two Australian companies working to support a critical national initiative," Aurizn, Chief Executive Officer, Rebecca Humble, said.
Aurizn’s role will focus on providing analytical and engineering support to enhance system understanding, inform design decisions and support performance assessment, complementing PMB Defence’s broader program of work and delivery of its advanced battery technology.
“We are proud to continue growing our supply chain for AUKUS Pillar 1 work in Australia. Aurizn offers PMB unique capabilities that significantly enhance our technology and we are pleased to have them on board," PMB Defence, General Manager New Technologies, Mike Hartas, said.
By combining PMB’s battery technology and program leadership with Aurizn’s specialist technical expertise, the collaboration highlights the value of Australian companies working together on nationally significant projects.
“We look forward to building a strong working relationship with PMB,” Humble said. “Together, we are supporting the delivery of next-generation submarine capability for Australia and our AUKUS partners.”
