THE U.S. – AUSTRALIASUBMARINE SERVICE RELATIONSHIP
Automated Fleet Towed Array Sonar (AFTAS) Systems, adapted from U.S. system developed for the LOS ANGELES Class, are being deployedon HMAS COLLINS Class Submarines
Australian developed HAIL system installed on a U.S. Submarine in support of a recent exercise –long-term view is that HAIL complements U.S. designed ACOMMS System
Torpedoes• Joint PCO Ops - tremendous success• Strong participation in MK48 user’s group• Expect Australian personnel to establish joint
program office in Washington, DC. (March/April timeframe)
• Exchange scientists to NUWC/NPT• Joint participation in CBASS development
for the United States and Australia
RAN / US partnership on Combat Control System MK 2 program
Australian Underwater Tracking Range (AURA), mutually beneficial to both Navies

RECENT COOPERATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
RECENT COOPERATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
HAIL• Significant leap-ahead for
implementing communications interoperability needed for allied submarines
• United States Navy is currently testing two HAILs aboard submarines
• USN is contemplating buying six more for installation aboard Pacific-based submarines
CCS MK2• VIRGINIA Class and COLLINS Class
will leverage each others’ experience for efficiency and reliability

FURTHER BENEFITS OF COOPERATION
FURTHER BENEFITS OF COOPERATION
U.S. – Australia Cooperation provides additional benefits to our Submarine Communities by:
• Lowering bottom line for R&D and procurement
• Accelerating our modernization
• Allowing us to share target ranges without needing to transport missiles and torpedoes across the ocean
• Providing forward-deployed arms depots in case of emergency
