CA17 manages Defence’s in-service Light and Lightweight Capability, which currently consists of 2,257 Mercedes Benz G–Wagons, and 1,921 Haulmark Trailers. The fleet comprises 11 vehicle variants and 2 trailer types.
The capability supports the ‘Raise, Train and Sustain’ requirements of the Australian Defence Force by transporting personnel, combat supplies, materiel, replacement combat systems as well as evacuating casualties, line laying and providing a platform for Command, Control, Computer, Communication and Intelligence (C4I) systems.
This project acquires and sustains digital command and control support systems that enhance combat power through the Battle Management system. The Battle Management system:

The Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) Tiger has been in service with the Australian Army since 2004. The ARH Tiger is a two-seat attack helicopter that performs a wide range of missions. It is fast and agile with the ability to detect and engage targets at long ranges, and can easily coordinate and control combined arms teams.
The project provides the capability to plan and conduct military activities, meet interoperability and international obligations, rely on command, intelligence, geospatial support and related products and systems. These systems consist of hardware and software configured primarily to provide protected and secret deployable networks and configurations for capabilities.
The General Service B-vehicle fleet comprises a broad range of light and medium/heavy wheeled vehicles used by the Australian Defence Force (ADF), consisting of approximately 2,900 assets. Most vehicles in the B-vehicle fleet are being progressively replaced under LAND 121 and JNT 2097. Land Rover variants have been progressively phased out as the G-Wagon variants have been introduced into service. The transition of the medium/heavy fleet began in February 2017 with the first deliveries of the new Rheinmetall MAN medium and heavy trucks under LAND 121 Phase 3B.
LAND 19 Phase 7B will deliver Army’s new Short Range Ground Based Air Defence system, which will form a component of the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defence (JIAMD) capability.
This project will replace the current Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) capability, including the RBS-70, as the Army's principal air defence weapon. While the new capability will be able to operate independently, it will be designed to operate as the inner layer of the broader JIAMD capability.
