Australian defence personnel minister Greg Combet said that the new capability will significantly enhance the wideband strategic communications support available to Australian forces.
“This includes those forces on distant deployments in the Middle East and also on operations closer to home in the Indian and Pacific Oceans,” he said.
Under the five-year contract, the company will provide support services for the new terminals and an enhanced network management system to enable the terminals to be controlled remotely from the HMAS Harman naval station located in the Canberra.
