Rohde & Schwarz (Australia) Pty Ltd has now been contracted by Raytheon Australia, on behalf of the AWD Alliance, to supply the suite of HF, VHF and UHF radio equipment to equip Australia’s Hobart Class Air Warfare Destroyers (AWDs).
The radio equipment fit, equivalent to F105+ capability, comprises R&S M3SR Series 4100 and R&S M3SR Series 4400 software defined radios with associated filters/combiners and antennas.
This approximately $30 million program is the largest system integration project so far undertaken by Rohde & Schwarz Australia.
Rohde & Schwarz Australia will deliver all equipment fitted, into racks, to the ASC shipyard in the Techport Australia precinct at Osborne in South Australia, for installation in the ships’ hulls.
All system integration activities will be conducted at the Rohde & Schwarz Australia plant in Sydney.
