The article focuses on the SEA 1000 submarine program of Royal Australian Navy (RAN), a program predicted to be the country's most expensive procurement, which is under the concept design phase of development that is intended to complement the combat systems, weapons, and unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) options until the 2070s. It mentions the design systems that will be employed by the program which is expected to incorporate U.S. technology. It relates the combat systems for the SEA 1000 submarines as well as the weapons that will be included in the vehicle. It also explores the integration of UUV capability in the SEA 1000 design which include the Rapidly Deployable Sensor (RDS). Furthermore, it highlights the future capabilities of the combat systems and equipment of the submarines.
