9. WHAT IS ARES?
A FREE RUNNING MODEL OF SUBMARINE
De-risking Submarine Hydrodynamics, control and guidance or Human Machine Interfaces for crew performance is safety-critical. However, simulations are
limited and always need validation on actual physical items dedicated to one specific submarine.
We propose to design an Australian Research & Experimental Submarine ARES (5-10m long) with the ability to reconfigure external shape and Fwd/aft control
planes configurations (cross or X-rudder) to simulate existing or future shapes.
The first phase (CY2020) will focus on systems design, feasibility demonstration and risk mitigation with Universities and Industries working in an Integrated
Product Data Environment, such as Dassault Systèmes 3DExperience, whilst TAFE-SA will ensure the design to production objectives are met.
Subsequent phases will deliver a detailed design and a production plan, then procure parts from SMEs and manufacture the Submarine. The Test and
Activation part in a lake/reservoir will conclude this phase before use for Research and Experiments, under the aegis of a commercial entity to ensure long-
term sustainment.

17. ASC – Our local Industry
Expert and partner
• ASC exists to serve the frontline of Australia’s
naval defence capabilities. With responsibility
for sustaining the Collins Class Submarines,
building the Hobart Class Air Warfare
Destroyers and building the lead and second
Arafura Class Offshore Patrol Vessels, ASC is an
integral part of Australia’s sovereign naval
industrial capability. ASC operates across three
facilities in South Australia and Western
Australia and employs more than 1,400
employees.
• Since 2006 with the University of Adelaide
• ASC instructors are internationally recognised
subject matter experts with experience working
on more than ten submarine classes from UK,
France, Spain, Sweden and Australia.

25. Capabilities

26. The University of Adelaide’s
Shipbuilding Hub for Integrated
Engineering and Local Design
collaborates with industry and
Defence, to foster R&D initiatives in
the maritime domain.
This includes identifying and
implementing niche, high-value
technical initiatives for:
• Defence projects, such as for
Collins class or SEA1000
submarines, and SEA5000 Future
Frigates
• allied industries, such as
renewable marine energies.
