Lockheed Martin Australia And The Department Of Defence Sign Strategic Partnership Head Contract To Advance Australia’s Integrated Air And Missile Defence Capability

WILLIAMTOWN, Australia – Lockheed Martin Australia signed a landmark AUD$500 million contract with the Department of Defence to build Australia’s future Joint Air Battle Management System under project - AIR6500 Phase 1 (AIR6500-1). This system will provide Defence with an advanced integrated air and missile defence capability, using next-gen technologies, to combat high-speed threats. 

Stewarded by Defence and Lockheed Martin Australia, AIR6500-1 will be built in Australia by Australians. A significant majority of the AIR6500-1 program workshare will be allocated across Australian industry to develop and deliver this strategic, national endeavour. 

Under AIR6500-1, an eight-year strategic partnership will generate important economic benefits, including over 230 new jobs across Adelaide, Williamtown and Canberra. Career opportunities include high value STEM roles such as engineering, software development, cyber, and project management.  

A further 300 in-direct jobs will be created in Australia’s air and missile defence supply chain and provide opportunities for Australian industry to benefit from a global $83B export market. Lockheed Martin Australia is also investing in the establishment of a National Integrated Air and Missile Defence Ecosystem to support Defence.
 

“We are honoured to be the Australian Defence Force’s strategic partner and lead the delivery of AIR6500-1. At the core of this 21st Century Security, joint all-domain system is Australian industry,” said Erika Marshall, vice president, C4ISR, Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems. 

“Together with the Department of Defence, we are harnessing the ingenuity found in Australian small-to-medium enterprises, industry primes and academia to build a transformational capability that will establish Australia’s Defence Force as one of the most highly advanced in the world.” 

Ahead of the AIR6500-1 contract signing, Lockheed Martin Australia developed an Operator Evaluation System for the Joint Air Battle Management System. This was delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. Using this system, Defence’s air battle managers can access a secure test environment to provide feedback on AIR6500-1’s design and functionality. This feedback will inform future development activities. 

Lockheed Martin Australia and New Zealand’s Chief Executive, Warren McDonald commended Defence and Lockheed Martin Australia’s AIR6500 Team on achieving this historic strategic partnership. 

“AIR6500-1 will give Australia and our allies a greater level of connectivity and interoperability to counter current and future air and missile threats.” He added, “In a contested and fast-moving environment, AIR6500-1 will give decision makers more time to consider and respond to a situation – time in these circumstances is a precious commodity.”

    MKM 2 YEARS TO DEATH The question is how long more can we fly it? 2 years ago ATSC said it had 2 years worth of spares. We can’t buy from the Russians [assuming they can fulfil the order in the first place] and HAL can’t supply everything we need. China? It too can’t supply all we need. The days of the type in RMAF service really seems numbered
    DISCONTINUING THE PRODUCTION According to Hisham, this decision raises questions because the Polish original equipment manufacturer Bumar Laberdy has stopped producing spare parts for Twardy.discontinuing the production of some main MBT components.
    2025 F18 STOP PRODUCTION stop production of the F/A-18 Super Hornet in late 2025 after delivering the last of the fighter jets,.

    1. Apanya yg hangat ya πŸ€”

      Lha trus kelanjutan proyek FMP gimana dong kalo semua tipe kapal mau di impor

      Bukankah mau FMP, mau F-110, mau FREMM....dia hanyalah platform

      Ibarat chasis truk.... selanjutnya mau dijadikan platform bus, atau platform truk, tinggal gimana kebutuhannya πŸ‘‡

      https://youtube.com/shorts/aFH3Xl4hDZA?si=2DB54DfEM-JcjVUH

      Jadi ga usah beda misi beda platform....yg ada bikin makin ruwet pemeliharaan nya

      Hapus
    2. Buat destroyer kayaknya tidak memenuhi syarat. Underarmed dan terlalu lambat. Lebih baik Type 052D.

      FREMM setahuku buat ASW. FMP kayaknya buat gantiin Ahmad Yani di kohanudnas, jadi buat AAW. Perbedaan antara perusak dan perusak kawal di TNI AL selama ini belum dijelaskan secara pasti.

      Hapus
