Prime Contractor: Elbit Systems Limited.

LAND 75 Phase 3.4 will deliver a vehicle-mounted, battle group level Battle Management System (BMS) in support of Network Centric Warfare Roadmap milestones. This capability is to be delivered in cooperation with JP 2072 Phase 1, which is delivering the combat radio system and LAND 125 Phase 3A, which is delivering the dismounted BMS.

A contract for the Battle Group and Below Command, Control and Communications System (BGC3) was signed with Elbit Systems Limited on 15 March 2010 following a world wide competitive tender. IOC, to be delivered to an infantry company in 7 Brigade in Brisbane, is due in July 2011. FOC is planned for April 2013.

The BGC3 is to be integrated into the Bushmaster Protected Mobility vehicle, the M113AS4 armoured personnel carrier as well as the G-Wagon, Unimog and Mack logistic vehicles.

The combat radio system will provide upgraded communications for these vehicles, which will greatly improve the amount of information available to land force commanders.

The major risk associated with LAND 75 Phase 3.4 is the development of approved vehicle installation designs for the large number of platforms that the system is to be fitted to and the associated complex design approval process. This risk is being managed through the use of the strategic materiel contracting template that will generate all of the necessary information needed for design approval.
