AUSTRALIA’S HOME
GROWN INTEGRATION

“ THE POWER OF AUSTRALIA’S HOME GROWN
INTEGRATION CAPABILITY ALLOWS US TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEX ELEMENTS OF THE NEXT
GENERATION BATTLESPACE.”
Plan Jericho has been – and is – vital in setting the conditions for the ADF’s future operational
success in the next generation battlespace. It provides the foundation for increased Defence
and industry cooperation, enabling us to further develop sovereign capability together.
I welcome the aspiration for an architecture-led, integrated and connected Force. This shift in focus is
an important step that recognises the needs of the information age warfighter.
Exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum will feature as a key element of the future battlespace.
As the warfighter faces new and emerging threats, a strong partnership with defence industry will
contribute to the safety of the warfighter and security of our nation.
Plan Jericho has been highly successful in building Defence and industry partnerships in Australia.
The power of Australia’s home grown integration capability allows us to better understand the complex
elements of the next generation battlespace.
Raytheon Australia stands ready to partner with Defence and deliver these future requirements for
the warfighter.
