Australia gives second pass approval for satellite terminals
The Australian Government has given second pass approval for acquiring satellite terminals for land forces under the Joint Project 2008 Phase 5B1, the defence ministry announced on 30 March.
The government approved approximately $138.40 million for the acquisition of satellite terminals, upgrades to existing satellite terminals and terminal monitoring and control systems.
Raytheon Australia will provide the terminals with their subcontractor, L-3 Communications. The terminals will be allocated to various deployable units of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) throughout Australia.
The project will significantly upgrade the satellite communications capabilities of the ADF. It will provide the first large terminals capable of adequately supporting deployed headquarters. It will also upgrade existing terminals and establish networked terminal monitoring and control systems.
The investment will also increase the ADF's utilisation of the US Wideband Global SATCOM system, by providing increased capacity to deployed forces.
