The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) has selected Lockheed Martin Australia (LMA) as its strategic partner to deliver the Joint Air Battle Management System (JABMS) as part of the second tranche of Project Air 6500 Phase 1.
The JABMS is the initial part of the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF’s) future Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) system. The system will be delivered through Project Air 6500 Phase 1 in two tranches.
As part of Tranche 1 of the project, Canberra-based CEA Technologies was granted a contract in July 2022 to design and deliver four active electronically scanned array (AESA) sensors.
According to a DoD press release on 29 August, LMA is selected to develop and deliver Tranche 2 of the JABMS in collaboration with other Australian defence industry partners. Tranche 2 will deliver the remaining scope of the JABMS and may include additional sensors.
