Project Background DWP16 stated that the Govt would strengthen Defence capability in six capability streams: ISR, Space, EW and Cyber Maritime and Anti-Submarine Warfare Strike and Air Combat Land Combat and Amphibious Warfare Key Enablers Air and Sea Lift capabilities
Project Background Defence White Paper 16 The government is concerned by the growing threat posed by ballistic and cruise missile capability and their proliferation in the Indo-Pacific and Middle East Regions. Australia and the US have established a bilateral working group to examine options for potential Australian contributions to integrated air and missile defence in the region. Being able to quickly exchange information, such as the location of threats, means the ADF can combine its already potent individual capabilities more effectively during joint operations generating greater combat weight and lethality.
Project Background Defence White Paper 16 Upgrade the ADF s existing air defence surveillance system, including C3 systems, sensors and targeting systems The Government will also acquire new ground-based radars from around 2020 and will expand Australia s access to situational awareness information New Medium-Range Ground Based Air Defence Weapons will be acquired in the mid to late 2020s to help protect valuable assets
Project Background Prior to DWP16, a series of projects already existed AIR 5405-1 Mobile Regional Operations Centre AIR 5397-2 Military Radio replacement AIR 5375-2 Fixed Radar replacement. AIR 5333-2 Vigilare C4I system upgrades
Project Outline 3 Projects established to meet the majority of DWP s IAMD requirements AIR6500 Phase 1 Upgraded or Replaced C4I Ground Based Sensors Mobile and Fixed Capabilities AIR6500 Phase 2 Medium-Range Ground Based Air and Missile Defence Effector LAND19-7B Short-Range Ground Based Air and Missile Defence Effector
Project Outline AIR6500 Phase 1 Requirements Integration of ADF 5th Gen capabilities Manage and disseminate the Common Tactical Picture across the ADF, fusing multiple sensors and data sources High levels of Integration with key Allies Manage Joint weapons employment, employing Target Evaluation Weapon Assignment (TEWA) and Integrated Fire Control (IFC) techniques Integration of EW Battle Management capabilities Operational in a contested/congested EM and cyber environment
Project Outline AIR6500 Phase 1 Outputs Upgraded or Replaced C4I system Scalable Open Architecture to support through-life enhancements Connectivity via multiple Data Links Providing varying levels of data quality to meet various taskings EWBM Capabilities Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Sensors Multiple form factors, freq bands, and power outputs to provide flexibility Fixed (JROC) and Mobile (JMOC) capabilities Support Homeland and deployed activities and provide redundancy Fire Control Support for Phase 2 and LAND19-7B
Project Outline AIR6500 Phase 2 Requirements & Outputs Medium Range (10-50nm) GBAMD Effector Wide threat set, including 5th Gen and LO Fighter threats NOT including BM or RAM Integration with LAND19-7B SR-GBAMD Effectors Integration (through AIR6500-1) with all other IAMD effectors
