revolutionise the way the ADF operates.<br />
Industry Partnerships<br />
“To successfully deliver this advanced system of systems, AIR6500 will need a<br />
collaborative approach from industry and academia, drawing on cutting-edge<br />
Australian and US technology sourced from a range of industry,” Mr. Prescott said.<br />
Lockheed Martin Australia is partnering with industry and academia in a range of<br />
areas including electronic warfare battle management, communications, information<br />
assurance, systems engineering and passive sensing to realise operations in a future<br />
distributed operations environment.<br />
“We are committed to working with like-minded Australian industry partners to<br />
elevate the technology base in Australia and to create genuine partnerships to support<br />
global supply chains and Australian business growth.”<br />
“We have visited every capital city of every state and territory in Australia to engage<br />
with industry on AIR6500, and recently hosted a virtual session with our New Zealand<br />
industry partners to educate them on how they can partner with Lockheed Martin<br />
Australia on AIR6500,” Mr. Prescott said.<br />
