BAE Systems Australia has won a $1 billion contract to upgrade Australia’s long-range high frequency radar network.
The Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) protects the nation’s coastal approaches through a network of three over-the-horizon radar systems that use the ionosphere to monitor air and sea movements across at least 37,000km2.
“The Company has committed to contribute up to $10 million to the initiative that involves partner universities – Flinders University, University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia – to support the creation of new Defence-focused courses and targeted research and development,” reads BAE Systems ‘ media statement. |
