I-Shortfin barracuda yase-Australia

Umbono we-Shortfin Barracuda Block 1A, iphrojekthi yomkhumbi eyaqinisekisa ukubamba iqhaza kwe-DCNS ezingxoxweni zokugcina "zenkontileka ye-submarine yekhulu leminyaka". Muva nje, inkampani yaseFrance izuze ezinye izimpumelelo ezimbili "zangaphansi kwamanzi" - uhulumeni waseNorway uyifake ohlwini lwezimbangi ezimbili (kanye ne-TKMS) ukuhlinzeka ngemikhumbi emikhunjini yendawo, kanti iyunithi yokuqala yohlobo lwe-Scorpène eyakhiwe eNdiya yangena olwandle. .

Ngo-Ephreli 26, uNdunankulu uMalcolm Turnbull, uNobhala Wezokuvikela uMaris Payne, uNgqongqoshe Wezimboni, Ukuqamba kanye Nesayensi uChristopher Payne kanye noMkhuzi we-Australian Navy Wadm. U-Tim Barrett umemezele ukukhethwa kozakwethu amncamelayo ohlelweni lwe-SEA 1000, umkhumbi-ngwenya omusha we-RAN.

Kwakuyinkampani yaseFrance eyakha imikhumbi yenkampani i-DCNS. Ukumelwa okunjalo okuqinile okuvela kuhulumeni wobumbano emcimbini akufanele kusimangaze njengoba uhlelo lulinganiselwa ukuthi luzobiza amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-A50 uma seluphenduke inkontileka, okulenza libe yibhizinisi lokuvikela elikhulu kunawo wonke emlandweni wase-Australia.

Inkontileka, imininingwane yayo okuzovunyelwana ngayo maduze, izohlanganisa ukwakhiwa kwemikhumbi-ngwenya engu-12 e-Australia kanye nokusekelwa kokusebenza kwazo kukho konke ukuphila kwazo kwenkonzo. Njengoba sekushiwo kakade, izindleko zayo zingaba cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-50, futhi ukugcinwa kwamayunithi phakathi nenkonzo yabo yeminyaka engu-30 kulinganiselwa kwenye ... 150 billion. Lolu uhlelo lwezempi olukhulu kunawo wonke emlandweni wase-Australia kanye nenkontileka yangaphansi kwamanzi ebiza kakhulu nenkulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni namuhla ngenani lamayunithi.

SEA 1000

Isisekelo sokuqalisa uhlelo lweRoyal Australian Navy's (RAN) olunentshisekelo enkulu yokuthuthukisa umkhumbi-ngwenya kuze kube manje, i-Future Submarine Programme (SEA 1000), sabekwa ku-Defense White Paper ka-2009. Lo mbhalo uphinde wancoma ukusungulwa kweSigungu Esilawula Amanzi Angaphansi Kolwandle (i-SCA). ) , uhlaka ngenjongo yokwengamela wonke umsebenzi.

Ngokwemfundiso yezokuvikela yase-Australia, ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwezokuthutha zasolwandle, okuyisisekelo somnotho wezwe, kanye nobulungu ku-ANZUS (Pacific Security Pact) kudinga ukusetshenziswa kwemikhumbi-ngwenya, okuvumela ukubhekwa kwebanga elide, ukugadwa kanye nokugadwa isikali samaqhinga, kanye nokuvimbela okusebenzayo okunamandla okubhubhisa abahlaseli abangaba . Ukuzimisela kweCanberry kuphinde kuqiniswe ukungezwani okukhulayo eSouth China kanye nase-East China Seas, ngenxa yesikhundla esiwujuqu seShayina maqondana nalesi sifunda sase-Asia, lapho kudlula ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yomthwalo obalulekile mayelana nokugeleza komnotho wase-Australia. . Ukufika kwemikhumbi-ngwenya emisha emgqeni kuklanyelwe ukugcina inzuzo yokusebenza kwemikhumbi yempi ye-RAN ezindaweni zayo ezinentshisekelo kuzo e-Pacific and Indian Oceans kuze kube yi-40s. Uhulumeni waseCanberra ucubungule ukubambisana okwengeziwe neButho Lamasosha Lasemanzini lase-US okuhloswe ngalo ukunikeza ukufinyelela kwentuthuko yakamuva yezikhali nezinhlelo zokulwa zemikhumbi-ngwenya (okuncanyelwayo phakathi kwazo: I-Lockheed Martin Mk 48 Mod 7 CBASS kanye nohlelo lokulawula ukulwa ne-General Dynamics torpedoes) AN / BYG- 1) kanye nokuqhubeka kwenqubo yokwandisa ukusebenzisana kwazo zombili izindiza ngesikhathi sokuthula nokungqubuzana.

Njengesiqalo senqubo eyengeziwe yokukhetha imikhumbi emisha, kwacatshangwa ukuthi kufanele ibonakale: ukuzimela okukhulu nobubanzi kunamayunithi ase-Collins asetshenziswa manje, uhlelo olusha lokulwa, izikhali ezithuthukisiwe kanye nobuqili obuphezulu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, njengohulumeni bangaphambili, lo wamanje wenqaba ithuba lokuthola izingxenye zamandla enuzi. Ukuhlaziywa kwemakethe kokuqala kwabonisa ngokushesha ukuthi kwakungekho miklamo yeyunithi engaphandle kweshalofu ehlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo ezithile zokusebenza ze-RAS. Ngokuvumelana nalokho, ngoFebhuwari 2015, uHulumeni wase-Australia wethula inqubo yokubhida encintisanayo ukuze kukhonjwe uzakwethu wokuklama nowokwakha wemikhumbi-ngwenya yesizukulwane esilandelayo, lapho ababhidi abathathu bangaphandle bamenywa khona.

Inani lamayunithi ahlelelwe ukuthengwa liyamangaza. Nokho, lokhu kubangelwa isipiliyoni kanye nesidingo sokugcina inani elikhulu lemikhumbi ekwazi ukusebenza ngesikhathi esisodwa kunanamuhla. Kuma-Collin ayisithupha, amabili angathunyelwa noma nini futhi angabi ngaphezu kwamane isikhathi esifushane. Idizayini eyinkimbinkimbi kanye nezinto zokusebenza zemikhumbi-ngwenya yesimanje yenza ukugcinwa nokulungisa kwazo kusebenze kanzima.
