The Australian Defence Force’s Land156 programme is seeking a Systems Integration Partner (SIP) to undertake market analysis, design, implement, manage and provide ongoing assurance of capability delivery across the programme.
The SIP will also deliver options for a counter-small uncrewed aerial system (C-sUAS) command and control (C2) system.
Land156 is intended to protect buildings, headquarters, strike packages and expeditionary bases and nodes from UAS surveillance and attack.
An open invitation to register has been published, which will lead to a down select of potential suppliers who will then be invited to respond to the subsequent request for tender. Responses are invited by December 20.
