The AIR2025 Phase 6 project will deliver a comprehensive redesign and upgrade of the Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN). JORN consists of three high-frequency radars located at Longreach, Queensland, Alice Springs, Northern Territory and Laverton, Western Australia with an operations centre located at Edinburgh, South Australia.

The MQ-4C Triton is a High Altitude Long Endurance Remotely Piloted Aircraft System which will complement the P- 8A Poseidon maritime aircraft acquired under AIR 7000 Phase 2 as a ‘family of systems’.

The Triton aircraft will be home based at RAAF Base Tindal, with operations headquartered at RAAF Base Edinburgh by the reformed No.9 Squadron. The Triton will be capable of supporting missions of over 24 hours while covering an area of over one million square nautical miles; an area larger than Western Australia.
