The aerospace domain is critical for the future of Australian defence,
given our unique position and an increasingly uncertain geopolitical
landscape.
The RAAF is leading the way and working with local industry to ensure
enduring capability advantage through Plan Jericho, maximising the
possibilities of 5th generation technology and increasingly networked
capabilities to deliver a highly effective force both in itself and in combination
with other ADF elements.
Industry provides the ability to adapt and support the capability to operate,
helping secure operational advantages as RAAF needs evolve.
Australian industry’s goal is to ensure interoperability, enabling and
sustaining both domestic and allied platforms so they can perform in the
most challenging environments via an array of new technologies, networks
and methods – safely and effectively.
Industry will help generate the skills in Australia’s future workforce to meet
the needs of Defence, contributing to the success of Plan Jericho and other
initiatives for many years to come.
Thales Australia is a trusted partner of the Australian Defence Force and
is also present in commercial sectors ranging from air traffic management
and ground transport systems to security systems and services. Thales has " AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY'S GOAL IS TO ENSURE
a unique capability to design and deploy equipment, systems and services to
