Deployable Health

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) Deployable Health Capability Project, JOINT 2060 Phase 3, will replace the ageing deployable clinical care capability with a whole-of-system approach for the provision of health care for Army and Air Force in the land environment.

It will provide an integrated, modular and scalable systems approach to deployable health care ranging from basic primary health care, through to hospital care, including acute treatment and intensive care.

Bulkfuel

This capability will greatly enhance Defence’s extant bulk fuel distribution systems by providing a significantly higher capacity to deploy, distribute, store and mobilise bulk amounts of fuel for aviation and diesel. 

This is planned to support a deployed force and ensure it can continue to operate aircraft, vehicles, and machinery across the spectrum of operations including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and combat operations.
