Joint Data Networks enhances command and control through the timely distribution and management of tactical and intelligent data between aircraft, ships, vehicles and ground nodes in order to improve situational awareness.

The Communications Security (COMSEC) Remediation project will remediate selected Australian Defence Force radios and encryption devices to meet upcoming algorithm obsolescence. This will ensure ongoing availability of secure communications in support of Defence operations, including through interoperability with key partner communications and intelligence networks.

The project is delivering Combat Radios and ancillary equipment as an upgrade to Land Force. A mature support system for the new generation Combat and Tactical Data Radios will also be established.

The AIR5431 Phase 1 Project is delivering a Deployable Defence Air Traffic Management and Control System (DDATMCS) comprising 2 mobile systems and one larger transportable system. Each of the three systems are made up of a mix of surveillance radars, shelters, Project Land 121 vehicles and associated electronic systems.

The DDATMCS will replace the Transportable Air Surveillance Radar (TASR) that was previously in service with the Royal Australian Air Force.
