Australia has awarded Raytheon a five-year $322 million contract for in-service support for the Collins-class submarine combat system.
Deputy Secretary Naval Shipbuilding and Sustainment Tony Dalton said the support would include a life-of-type extension – commencing in 2026, ongoing sustainment, and selected capability enhancements.
Raytheon Australia has been providing a range of support services for the Collins class submarine combat system since its introduction into service.
