Project Overview
| Project | LAND 19 |
| Phase | 7 |
| Project Name | GBAD - RBS 70 Enhancements or Replacements |
| Scope | This phase is intended to enhance or replace the existing Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) system. It may include new technologies and weapon systems that are also capable of countering rockets, artillery and mortars. |
| Background | The current Army GBAD capability provided by the RBS 70 system aims to protect static or mobile ADF personnel and assets deployed in the land environment. The LAND 19 Phase 7 capability is expected to combine the components of airspace surveillance and identification, target tracking, and target interception and destruction. The capability will be managed by a networked command, control, communications, computing and intelligence system. The LAND 19 Phase 7 capability may deploy as a component of the ADF Air Defence System and may operate independently, or in conjunction with Joint or Coalition air and missile defence weapons. |
| Australian Industry Opportunities | Overview Capabilities and related activities that may provide opportunities for Australian industry in this phase include: (Table) Acquisition There is unlikely to be sufficient demand for a viable local manufacturing capability, however Australian industry may undertake component production, integration, training, test and evaluation. Through-life Support There may be opportunities for Australian industry involvement in the through-life support of hardware and software repairs and maintenance. |
