specifically in support of the Australia-United Kingdom-United

Since 2017, as the president of the Nuclear and Environmental
Services business group, Lempke has led HII’s work maintaining a
nuclear stewardship culture for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
on complex projects crucial to U.S. national security, the
advancement of science and technology, and the protection of people
and the environment.
Lempke also supervised the implementation of programs to build
and maintain the education and training of a future nuclear
workforce in local communities that prioritizes attracting,
training, and retaining top talent.
For HII in Australia, Lempke will be responsible for leveraging
HII expertise in unmanned systems, C5ISR operations, the
application of AI and machine learning, and nuclear shipbuilding
expertise in support of AUKUS.

“This is an important next step in our international growth
initiative, enhancing coordination between AUKUS Pillar 1 and
Pillar 2 efforts, enabling an efficient in-country operating model,
and providing a unified business approach in Australia,” Mission
Technologies President Andy Green said. “2024 will be a pivotal
year for the AUKUS program, for the Commonwealth of Australia, and
for HII, and I am proud of our team and the commitment we have
shown in supporting this important global strategic
initiative.”
Michael Lempke added, “I look forward to working with the
Australian, U.S., and United Kingdom governments, and HII’s
Australian business and academic partners to use HII expertise to
make AUKUS Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 a success and to strengthen the
security alliance between our nations.”
This announcement follows three strategic partnerships announced
in 2023:
- In September, HII and Babcock International Group combined
forces in Australia to support critical capability requirements for
the AUKUS nuclear submarine program.
- In November, HII and Babcock Australasia announced formation of
the AUKUS Workforce Alliance (AWA) with the University of Adelaide,
Curtin University, and the University of New South Wales. The AWA
is a partnership committed to preparing a skilled workforce in
support of the AUKUS nuclear submarine program.
- In December, HII, Babcock Australasia, and Bechtel Australia
signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to identify
opportunities to leverage their complementary sets of skills and
experience to establish and support Australia’s conventionally
armed nuclear-powered submarine program.
Headquartered in Canberra, HII Australia is leveraging HII’s
proven track record in construction of nuclear-powered submarines,
advanced technologies, and infrastructure development, including

partnership. For more information about HII Australia, visit:
