Programme 1.2: Navy Capabilities |
Programme 1.2 Objective
The Navy’s primary objective in delivering Programme 1.2 is to provide maritime forces that contribute to the ADF’s capacity to defend Australia, contribute to regional security, support Australia’s global interests, shape the strategic environment and protect our national interests. This is achieved by providing maritime patrol and response, interdiction and strategic strike, amphibious warfare capabilities, protection of shipping and offshore territories and resources, maritime intelligence collection and evaluation, hydrographic and oceanographic operations, and escort duties. Peacetime activities include maritime surveillance and response within Australia’s offshore maritime zones, hydrographic, oceanographic and meteorological support operations, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and maritime search and rescue.
In 2014-15, the Navy will continue to maintain sufficient combatant forces to deploy on operations as directed by the CDF, while managing the ongoing challenges and capability risks associated with the sustainment of the fleet and aviation forces, shortages in trained personnel and upgrades to a number of fleet units.
The year will mark the arrival of significant new capability with the introduction into service of the first Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) and the first Seahawk Romeo flight, but will also see the decommissioning of the frigate HMAS Sydney, the Landing Ship Heavy (LSH) HMAS Tobruk and the Heavy Landing Craft (LCH) HMA Ships Brunei, Labuan and Tarakan, as they reach their end-of-life.
Navy will contribute to the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign with the deployment of two ships to the Mediterranean to participate in memorial services during April 2015.
The Rizzo Plan to Reform Support Ship Repair and Management Practices, established in July 2011, will continue to be implemented in 2014-15, including further change activities aimed at improving sustainment business practices, enhancement of Navy-DMO working arrangements and introduction of more effective seaworthiness governance. The programme will also persist with its important work aimed at rebuilding engineering capability in Navy.
Navy will continue dealing with workforce challenges in 2014-15, principally skills and number shortages, which will be addressed through a number of strategies including lateral recruitment of foreign service personnel and financial incentives to reduce separation rates. Transition to new platforms and technologies has also necessitated workforce restructure in some areas and this work will be ongoing.
Navy remains committed to the Defence Pathway to Change, underpinned by the New Generation Navy programme which is driving cultural change and entrenching values and behaviors consistent with modern community standards and attitudes.

Notes
-
A Unit Availability Day (UAD) is a day when a unit is materielly ready and its personnel state and level of competence enables the unit to safely perform tasks in the unit’s normal operating environment, immediately. UAD differs from URD in that for UAD minor maintenance periods, defects, training and personnel state of a unit are taken into account.
-
UAD is intended to replace URD as the Navy statutory reporting measure. Both URD and UAD will be reported for a transition period of two years (2014-15 and 2015-16).
