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.
Thales has developed a comprehensive private cloud infrastructure solution called Nexium Defence Cloud, the company announced on 7 June.
The Nexium Defence Cloud offer users private access to data in the constrained environment of military infrastructure networks, from central command to forces deployed in theatres of operation. The solution will enable armed forces to stay connected with any device at any time and operate with complete autonomy in the field.
The cloud solution can interconnect systems and devices quickly and easily within ad-hoc command structures and organisations to enhance mission effectiveness without comprising on security. Equipment and applications can be deployed, configured and updated remotely so that the armed forces can focus on their core missions.
Marc Darmon, executive vice president, secure communications and information systems, Thales, said: ‘Thales is bringing to armed forces its expertise in secure, interoperable information and telecommunication systems, combined with world-class capabilities in the key digital technologies of connectivity and IoT, big data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
‘With Nexium Defence Cloud, Thales is expanding the armed forces’ arsenal with a new digital power that allows them to make decisions quickly and efficiently in real time at each decisive moment.’
