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.
Elbit Systems Ltd. announced today that it was awarded a contract valued at EUR17.7 million to provide a European Ministry of Defense with advanced tactical communication systems to be delivered during 2011- 2012.
The communication systems to be delivered under the contract are Tadiran CNR 9000 and Tadiran HF 6000. These tactical radio systems offer voice and high data rate transfer and are considered the industry's leading technology.

Machlis added: "We hope this contract will be followed by other contracts from this customer, as well as other NATO countries and will further strengthen our position as a leading supplier of innovative systems worldwide."
