Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Core Systems has provided rugged COTS servers, Core custom servers and displays to the Avaya Shipboard Team for various US Navy hull ships, it announced on 26 May.
The systems have already been installed and deployed in two Littoral Combat Ships and six CVN aircraft carriers, including USS Freedom.
Core Systems also installed systems in San Diego, California's Navy School House for training systems and in several government systems verification and training labs.
Avaya has won a five-year IVCS re-complete for DDG and CG class Destroyers, which will include servers and displays from Core Systems. These 28-32 ships will be built over a five-year period, with procurements beginning in 2015.
Robert Johns, global account manager, US Navy Shipboard, said: 'The Avaya federal sales leadership team has seen our relationship with Core Systems grow from a supplier status to a real industry partner in the US Navy Shipboard arena.
'Core Systems has become a truly valued partner with us and I look forward to many years of business growth and prosperity. This partnership has been successful in delivering to the US Navy a streamlined, consistent shipboard UC communications architecture.'
