BAE Systems Australia is to continue providing mission support services to the Australian military air operations under a new contract award.
The contract is for four years and has a value of more than $6.4 million.
BAE Systems Australia said the services will be provided through the Air Component – Command and Control Capability System, or AC-C2CS, of the Australian Defense Force and will require the basing of 10 employees at two military sites.
"The AC-C2CS supports the planning, preparation, execution and reporting of military air operations," said BAE Systems Australia Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance General Manager Chris Keane. "This system plays a critical role in facilitating continuous military operations, supporting ADF air operations 24 hours a day every day of the year.
"We are delighted to secure the new four-year contract, with options for a further two two-year extensions, and continue our successful association with the ADF."
No information was given as to the support services being provided.
