BMT Joins BAE Systems Australia and AMT to Offer Superior Anzac Class Support

(IN BRIEF) BMT and BAE Systems Australia have teamed up with AMT to bid for the Anzac Class Design Support Contract. Their combined expertise in naval engineering and their integration of AMT’s long-standing support to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ensure a comprehensive, superior sustainment approach, offering reduced risks and enhanced platform performance for the future of the Anzac Class fleet.

(PRESS RELEASE) TEDDINGTON, 20-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — BMT is excited to announce an exclusive partnership with BAE Systems Australia to bid for the future sustainment of the Anzac Class Design Support Contract, currently open for tender by the Commonwealth. The new collaboration, named DSC–West, combines the two leaders in naval engineering, focusing on delivering superior sovereign maritime solutions that cater to the evolving needs of the Commonwealth.

Strengthened Partnership with Australian Maritime Technologies

This partnership brings together BMT and BAE Systems Australia to deliver lasting and effective Anzac Class sustainment solutions. A key aspect of the collaboration is the inclusion of Australian Maritime Technologies (AMT), now integrated into BMT’s global organisation. With its deep experience in supporting both the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) Anzac Class vessels, AMT enhances the technical reach of the team, offering valuable insights from design inception to in-service support. The inclusion of AMT’s relationship with the original ship designer, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), further strengthens the partnership’s depth.

A Unified, Integrated Approach

Graeme Nayler, Regional Business Director at BMT, highlighted the significance of the partnership: “By integrating AMT’s extensive experience with BMT’s global expertise, this partnership is uniquely positioned to support the Commonwealth with a comprehensive, enduring sustainment solution.”

Rob Dunbar, Managing Director of AMT, expressed pride in the new arrangement, stating, “Leveraging our historical knowledge and strong relationship with TKMS ensures continued performance and capability for the Anzac Class fleet.”

Paul Berryman, Acting Managing Director, BAE Systems Australia – Maritime, emphasized the importance of the collaboration: “This partnership supports the growth of Australia’s sovereign defence capabilities and ensures the continued readiness of the Anzac Class fleet.”

Proven, Integrated Sustainment Solutions

Unlike other approaches relying on disconnected technical support networks, the DSC–West collaboration brings a proven, integrated model that reduces platform-related delivery risk and enhances performance outcomes. This ensures the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) receives long-term assurance, value, and excellence throughout the lifecycle of its fleet.

Together, BMT, BAE Systems, and AMT are ready to deliver future-proof sustainment, technical support, and capability enhancements that guarantee superior service and ongoing operational performance.
