Joint Battlespace Systems
Delivering integrated force protection systems to ensure mission success on land, at sea and in the air.
Raytheon Australia is delivering the capability needed to defend the nation. We are engaged at all stages of capability development through delivery of systems into service and ongoing support.
Raytheon Australia delivers an integrated ground-based, surface-to-air defence system for the Australian Army - NASAMS™ (National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System).
NASAMS is a globally proven solution that has been modified to meet Australia’s needs. It delivers a fully integrated air and missile defence system that allows operators to be connected in the battlespace to both the wider Australian Defence Force (ADF) and coalition allies, enabling a full understanding of the threat picture and a coordinated response.
NASAMS is one of the most capable short-range ground-based air defence systems in the world, with the ability to defeat modern cruise missiles, aircraft and unmanned aerial systems.
Procured for the Australian Army through LAND 19 Phase 7B, the program has incorporated a variety of beyond-visual-range sensor capabilities to utilise effectors that will provide the capability to engage multiple types of threats confidently, adapting to Australian needs.
This project transformed the Army’s existing force protection capability, including a progression from a man-portable ground-based air defence capability to a fully networked and distributed system.
Following the successful delivery of LAND 19 Phase 7B, Raytheon Australia continues to partner with the Australian Defence Force on future needs, upgrades and expansions through an ongoing sustainment contract to ensure the capability remains mission ready.
Raytheon Australia’s Force Level Electronic Warfare System for the land domain (FLEWS-L) builds on the Australian Army’s Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle.
Our workforce is committed to developing and delivering a next-generation, integrated and interoperable electronic warfare (EW) capability to the Australian Army.
This capability enables the Australian Army to partner with joint, allied or coalition EW systems to enhance situational awareness of the electromagnetic spectrum across the joint battlespace. At a local level, the program has created work for Australian industry, as we work alongside a range of local industry partners.
Raytheon Australia is invested in continuing to develop electronic warfare capabilities for the ADF.
Understanding the crucial role EW plays in modern military operations, we have internally invested in the development of an Electronic Warfare Demonstration Environment. It consists of two parts including a high-tech Systems Integration Laboratory and an EW Tactical Engagement (EWTE) vehicle.
The EWTE vehicle assists Raytheon Australia’s engagement with local industry, Defence partners, research organisations and universities to test and refine their advanced EW technologies, products and command and control systems in live, realistic test and training environments.
Raytheon Australia provides essential operational and specialist capability for Advanced Test and Training Environments across Australia, in support of delivery, acceptance, introduction to service and operational planning and training of ADF capabilities.
We work closely with end users to determine and deliver future testing and training capability requirements, and provide maintenance, engineering, operations and training support services.
Raytheon Australia delivers and supports mission planning and the delivery of advanced fixed- and mobile-range control and safety systems.
This includes mobile radars, optical sensors, telemetry, flight termination and communications equipment for the Woomera Test Range.
This equipment – bolstered by a team of experienced specialists – provides the ADF, Australia’s allies and foreign partners a specialised operational environment that supports directed whole-of-Defence activities for the testing of material and, other directed activities in the wider national interest.
Raytheon Australia continues to partner with the ADF for ongoing upgrade design, development and delivery of future test capability assets and capabilities including support of hypersonic and long-range materiel testing.
Additionally, we are responsible for the delivery of an operational opposing force training capability through the Northern EW Training Ranges. Raytheon Australia provides the Royal Australian Air Force with a mobile EW threat emulator environment focusing on live emissions and interactions and supports development of training scenarios to ensure training outcomes are met.
Reliable, secure access to tactical information and communications is more important than ever due to the ever-increasing speed of combat operations.
Raytheon Australia’s Joint Interface Control (JIC) ensures the ADF can exchange tactical, operational and strategic data across the Joint Force and coalition partners, including situational awareness and mission-critical command and control information.
Our work in the tactical data link network environment supports broader multi-domain operations and capabilities across land, sea, air, cyber and space domains to ensure the ADF can respond to and action information in a secure, time-sensitive environment.
Additionally, RTX’s Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) provides the ADF Battle Management System – Fires (Command and Control) and subject matter experts embedded with the Royal Australian Artillery’s School of Artillery and Regiments direct support to testing, integration, development and training.
Raytheon Australia also provides sustainment services including project management, procurement, engineering, integrated logistics, maintenance and the provision of field service representatives. This supports the training of end users and the operational deployments of the Australian Army’s EPLRS Extended Frequency radio.
