Saab Australia to Deliver Next-Gen System to Navy

In a major milestone for the Australian Government’s Naval Shipbuilding Plan, an Enterprise Partnering Agreement has been signed with Saab Australia to deliver their ‘Next Generation’ Combat Management System.
 
The agreement forms part of the Government’s multi-billion dollar strategic enterprise approach to naval combat systems.
Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said Saab’s ‘Next Generation’ Combat Management System is a critical element of a ship’s fighting capability and will help to ensure Navy can protect Australia in the decades ahead.
 
“Our Government is committed to ensuring our Navy is fully equipped to protect Australia from future threats,” Minister Reynolds said. “This commitment will enhance surface fleet interoperability and lethality, and support the ability to operate as a joint force with our coalition partners and allies.”
 
The Saab ‘Next Generation’ Combat Management System will be delivered across Navy’s fleet including the ANZAC class frigates, new Arafura class offshore patrol vessels and Supply class replenishment ships.
 
Saab Australia will also leverage their ‘Next Generation’ Combat Management System experience in the development of the Australian interface to the Aegis system, for the Hunter class frigates and the Hobart class destroyers.
 
Minister for Defence Industry, the Hon Melissa Price MP said it was a great sign to see such advanced capability being developed in Australia.
