SEA5014PH1 Overview:
SEA5014PH1 is a Capability Assurance Program (CAP) to support extending Navys ANZAC Class Frigates (FFH) beyond their current Planned Withdrawal Dates (PWDs) to meet the Initial Operating Readiness (IOR) of the Hunter Class Frigates (FFGs).
The project will supplement frigate sustainment funding (CN02) to enable Navys eight Anzac Class Frigates to maintain their combat/platform capability and assure Defences Major Surface Combatant capability until the FFH class is fully replaced by the Hunter Class Frigate (FFG) program in CY2043. SEA5014PH1 will address:
deferred maintenance;
hull fatigue and systems obsolescence;
Increased material sustainment risk; and
Margin remediation, e.g. weight and power, from annual growth and Capability Insertion Projects to maintain capability relevance.
Position Overview:
Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the Combat Systems and Communication Engineer provides Governance and Assurance services to underpin the delivery of SEA5014PH1 engineering scope (Platform Systems Combat System). The Combat Systems Engineer works collaboratively with the Anzac SPO, Warship Asset Management Agreement (WAMA) Alliance and Royal Australian Navy to deliver SEA5014PH1 outcomes.
