The Land C3 Program will provide a brief to industry on the Land 200 Battlefield Command Systems (BCS) program and the objectives of Land 200 Phase 3 on 4 September at this year’s Land Forces.
The purpose of the brief and meetings is to provide industry attendees with accurate and consistent information including an overview of the project scope and objectives. The Commonwealth intends to gather information, and analyse industry capability and capacity to provide support to Land 200 Phase 3, including development, manufacture, integration, supply, adaptation, sustainment and disposal of the BCS.
This will also provide an overview of how Defence intends to foster a more productive and enduring relationship with industry as a partner for the BCS capability.
Land 200 Phase 3 is scoped to deliver the ADF the following capability elements:
- Expansion of the BCS across Army and to select Navy and Air Force elements
- A Beyond-Line-of-Sight Communications capability
- Dismounted BCS capability (including hardware and communication equipment, not including BMS software)
- Radio modernisation
- A data interface with Joint and Coalition systems
- Technology refresh
Estimated Value:
- Acquisition: $1B – $2B (Middle of band)
- Sustainment: $60-90m annually averaged over 15 years
The brief will be unclassified and a separate opportunity for one-on-one discussions will be available. More details are available here.
