Information and cyber

Defence is seeking technologies in secure and resilient information systems, offensive and defensive electronic warfare capabilities and technologies that enhance joint command and control capabilities.

  • Enhance joint intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
  • Enhance joint command, control, communications and computing (C4) capabilities to provide more secure connectivity and better synchronised forces.
  • Enhance situational awareness through improved intelligence, analysis, communications, navigation, targeting and surveillance.
  • Enhance joint integration, analysis and interpretation of large amounts of data across all operating domains, including capabilities that reduce human involvement in these processes.
  • Enhance understanding of the online, digital, social media and cyber environments to identify, predict and respond to risks to strategic assets.
  • Enhance understanding and management of the electromagnetic environment to facilitate greater mobility and information sharing, reducing interference while improving access to bandwidth, and supporting enhanced decision-making.
  • Reduce the reliance on human intervention in spectrum management, monitoring and switching.
  • Strengthen Defence’s cyber defence systems to build resilience and robustness.
  • Harmonise data and technology architectures, including electronic warfare open architectures, to support scalable and expandable capabilities.
