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 $40 million order by the Israel Ministry of Defense (MOD) for the follow- on Digital Army Program (DAP). The total value of this phase of the programme is approximately $300 million and the additional orders are due to be received subsequently. The programme will be performed over several years.
The DAP enables force coordination at all levels, access to updated situational pictures, improved overall operational capabilities, including survivability and accuracy and more efficient utilization of personnel and other resources. The contract calls for the supply and support of all hardware and software, including command and control stations, data processing and distribution systems.
The DAP currently is in the advanced implementation process of Phase One Of the programme.
