command, control and communications systems - design and development

Boeing Australia provides innovative solutions to Australian and international defence customers requiring integrated Command, Control and Communication (C3) capabilities. Such capabilities range from simple systems to complex System-of-Systems solutions in the sea, land and air environments.

System solutions incorporate design features that provide the potential for system evolution and growth through life-of-type. These solutions are complemented by a proven track record in the provision of operations, maintenance and systems support for Defence communications systems, resulting in a whole-of-life cycle management philosophy.

The increased need for Network Centric Warfare (NCW) capabilities by defence forces now requires Lead Systems Integrator (LSI) capabilities to address the System-of-Systems attributes and complexities inherent in NCW-type acquisitions. Boeing Australia is investing heavily in the enhancement of its LSI capabilities to become a leader. This enhancement is complemented by the development of organisational capabilities such as workforce development and training, the development of specialised processes such as System-of-Systems Engineering, and the deployment of specialised technologies such as the Strategic Architectures Reference Model.

These capabilities will ensure that Boeing Australia's workforce has the optimal competencies, tools, technologies and organisation necessary to successfully execute the new generation of NCW-type projects.
