Aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) said
Monday it was seeking an Australian partner to work with it on the
Royal Australian Air Force's Project Air6500.
Under Project Air6500, the RAAF hopes to procure a joint battle
management system "for both national defense and expeditionary
missions. It will enable improved situational awareness, such as
the ability to generate and disseminate a common tactical picture,
and will enhance coordination of air battle management, joint
weapons employment, including maritime and land strike, and
ground-based air and missile defence in operational theaters," the
company said.
Chris Deeble, chief executive, Northrop Grumman Australia, said,
"We recognize that a program of this size, scope and complexity
will demand the most innovative, best-of-breed capabilities and a
prime systems integrator partnering with Australian industry who
can deliver world class capabilities to the Australian Defense
Force."
The company also said it "is engaging with a range of industry
members, including small businesses, with the goal of creating an
Australian AIR6500 solution that brings the best capability for the
best value."
