Defense Innovations
Honeywell’s AUKUS SIB Program accelerates the uplift of Australian industry by preparing suppliers to securely participate in the Virginia Class Submarine supply chain through harmonized Australian‑U.S. security uplift, digital assurance, and CMMC‑aligned accreditation.
AUD 268–368 billion
Estimated lifetime cost of Australia’s AUKUS nuclear‑powered submarine program (design, build, infrastructure, workforce, sustainment)
Min 8 nuclear‑powered submarines
Up to 5 Virginia‑class submarines purchased from the United States (early 2030s) and up to 5 SSN‑AUKUS submarines built in Australia (from early 2040s)
8,500 direct industrial jobs
At peak activity, up to 8,500 direct industrial jobs will be supported in Australia for building and sustaining the submarines.
What is AUKUS?
AUKUS is a trilateral security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States focused on strengthening stability in the Indo‑Pacific region. Through Pillar I, AUKUS enables Australia to establish a sovereign, conventionally armed nuclear‑powered submarine capability with long‑term industrial and workforce development. Pillar II accelerates collaboration on advanced defense technologies—including AI, quantum, cyber, undersea, hypersonics, and electronic warfare—to enhance interoperability and future‑ready capabilities.
First Pillar
- Aligning Australian and U.S. security requirements to enable trusted participation in in nuclear‑powered submarine sustainment.
- Uplifting Australian industry through integrated security assurance and supplier readiness activities.
- Advancing digital assurance and secure data‑handling to support Virginia‑class and SSN‑AUKUS programs.
- Strengthening a resilient, scalable sovereign supply chain for long‑term submarine sustainment.
Second Pillar
- Developing quantum sensing solutions for advanced navigation products with Australian industrial base
- Enhcancement of undersea navigation solutions with Australian industrial base
- Developing advanced alternate navigation solutions with Australian UAS developers for GPS denied environements
