This project is to deliver 14 Armidale class patrol boats (ACPB) and provide 15 years in-service support. In addition the project is providing funding to DSG to deliver patrol boat facilities at Cairns and Darwin.

The new patrol boats will improve the Navy's capability to intercept and apprehend vessels suspected of illegal fishing, quarantine, customs or immigration offences and will provide 3500 days availability with the scope to surge up to 600 days per annum.
