Facilities
This project phase will include a requirement for new facilities and infrastructure, or the expansion and enhancement of existing facilities and supporting infrastructure.
Through-life Support
Defence seeks a ‘turnkey’ service providing aerial target presentations in line with an agreed annual schedule. All target assets are to be contractor owned, operated and maintained. All contracted logistic and facility support is to be within the scope of the single contract for services.

JP 90 Phase 1 ADF Identification Friend or Foe and Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast
AEROSPACE
AEROSPACE BATTLESPACE MANAGEMENT
JP 90
Background
This project aims to update legacy ADF platforms to ensure compliance with new military and civil Identification and Air Traffic Management Surveillance systems.
The US and NATO have agreed to adopt the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5 waveform (included in the Mark XIIA family) as the standard means of obtaining secure combat identification of aircraft and ships.
In addition, the introduction of new Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) systems, such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) and Mode Select (Mode S) for the management of en-route traffic, means that ADF aircraft will be required to comply with these standards.
Australian Industry Capability Considerations
An AIC Plan is required for each project procurement where the estimated value of the procurement is equal to or greater than
$20m or where the procurement will impact on a PIC. The table below provides an indication of whether it is likely there will be any AIC, PIC, SIC or GSC requirements for this project.
Phase AIC PIC SIC GSC
Phase 1 Yes1 Yes2 Yes No
Notes:
1. Where an FMS solution is implemented, an AIC Deed will be used instead of an AIC Plan to identify local industry opportunities.
2. The project will fully explore and define the PIC requirements such that they can be recorded in the Acquisition Strategy.
JP 90 Phase 1 ADF Identification Friend or Foe and Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast Scope
JP 90 will upgrade legacy platforms that have an existing Mode 4 capability, as well as new or recently delivered platforms for which Mode 5/S/ADS-B was not specified. Systems to be upgraded include the military Mark XIIA IFF systems and civil Mode Select (Mode S) Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR).
Mode S includes ADS-B systems.
IMR will occur upon the completion and release of the supplies which are required to support the achievement of the IOC.
IOC is defined as an operationally deployable number of each platform fitted with Mode 5/S/ADS-B and supported with appropriate training and logistics support arrangements.
The LOT for this capability will be determined later in the proposal development process.
FOC will occur when the full scope of the project, including the mission, support and training systems, and facilities, if required, has been delivered and accepted into operational service.

Australian Industry Opportunities
Acquisition
It is expected that industry will focus on aspects that include:participation in and contribution to project development studies conducted by subject matter experts within Australian industry;design and development of any relevant support systems;integration of Mode 5/S/ADS-B IFF systems into ADF aircraft, ships and ground based units; andtesting and evaluation of Mode 5/S/ADS-B systems.
For each legacy ADF platform type to be fitted with Mode 5/S/ADS-B, there will be a requirement for an engineering study

modifications to the platforms. Operational testing and development and implementation of appropriate training and support systems will be required.
Although Mode 5/S units suppliers are internationally based, there exists opportunity for Australian industry participation, particularly with the design, installation, set to work and test, evaluation and acceptance work. For acquisition, Australian companies may seek to either act as a Prime contractor, or more likely, to provide sub-contracted services for system development and integration.
Services available to Australian companies may include a range of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) activities. ILS services are routinely undertaken by Australian companies providing support to the ADF, although the number of people with the requisite engineering and logistics experience is currently limited.

As this project phase comprises technology enhancements and is largely systems-based, it is unlikely there will be any facilities or infrastructure requirements.
Through-life Support
Specific TLS requirements will be determined during the capability requirements definition stage. Specific support arrangements will be assessed on a case-by-case basis dependent on the implemented solution and platform support requirements.

JP 129 Phase 4 Tier 1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
AEROSPACE
INTEGRATED AEROSPACE SYSTEMS
JP 129
Background
JP 129 Phase 2 (approved) is providing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAVs) to support land forces on operations. These systems will have a planned Life of Type (LOT) of 10 years. This seemingly short life is due to the technological advancements that are being made to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and payloads.
JP 129 Phase 4 will provide an ongoing organic Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability for land force operations, as well as provision of a system that can be operated from or within confined areas (such as an urban environment).
