Joint Air Battle Management System
AIR6500
The Australian Pursuit of an Integrated Force
The Royal Australian Air Force is seeking a 5th generation multi-domain Joint Air Battle Management System (JABMS) which will form the architecture at the core of the Australian Defence Force’s future Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) capability and provide:
- Air Battle Management
- Air and Missile Defence Battle Management
- Electromagnetic Battle Management
- US and coalition interoperability, next-generation performance and lifecycle affordably.
The JABMS being procured by the Commonwealth under the AIR6500 project will enable improved situational awareness, such as the ability to generate and disseminate a common operating picture, and will enhance coordination of air battle management, joint weapons employment, and ground-based air defence in operational theatres.
Northrop Grumman Australia offers an open, modular system-of-systems approach and architecture. This openness, which can network and integrate across all domains, affordability delivers a system that is interoperable and joint by design. Northrop Grumman Australia is one of two shortlisted companies selected to participate in the Commonwealth of Australia’s AIR6500-1 Competitive Evaluation Process to lead the design, development and delivery of the JABMS.
