JP 2048 Phase 3 | Watercraft system acquisition to be used in conjunction with the Ph 4A/4B LHD Mission System. These watercraft will replace the capability inherent in the current generation of watercraft systems. | Amphibious watercraft required to be integrated with the LHD platform and be able to transport personnel & equipment from LHDs to shore without utilising fixed port facilities, or prepared landing areas. |
Land 75 | Battlefield Command Support System Project. | The Battlefield Command Support System will provide Army with interoperability with the new Battle Management System and the LHD will be required to support this. |
Sea 1442 | Maritime Communications Modernisation. | The project was established to modernise and integrate the communications infrastructure in the Royal Australian Navy Fleet, and establish the framework for the future modernisation of additional elements of the fleet such as the LHD. |
JP 2089 Phase 2 | Tactical Information Exchange Domain (Data Links). | The project is intended to implement Tactical Information Exchange solutions on various platforms including Link 16 and Variable Messaging Format in the ANZACs and LHDs. |
JP 2072 | Battlespace Communications System (Land) | This is a project to enhance communications for ADF land elements through the development of a holistic battlespace communications architecture for the land environment. It covers the spectrum of Combat Net Radio (CNR) through to trunk communications and local area networks, with the aim of eventually providing seamless connectivity across all tactical systems to ensure support to command support systems. Depending on the solution chosen for JP 2072, the LHD could form part of this communications network. |
Land 121 | Project OVERLANDER | This is a multi-phased project that will provide the Field Vehicles, Modules and Trailers (FVM&T) and the associated support items that the ADF requires beyond the life-of-type of the current assets in order to meet ADF mobility requirements. Where these vehicles are to be embarked on the LHD issues related to wheel/deck load, communications and exhaust emissions need to be considered. |
