AU$1.1 million Communications Contracts in Australia and USA
29 April 2004
15 January 2004. The directors are pleased to announce that Redflex Communications Systems Pty Ltd., a wholly owned company of the Redflex Group, has been awarded contracts by both the Royal Australian Navy and the US Department of Defense for the provision of Switchplus® Communications Systems totalling approximately AU$1.1 Million.
Redflex will expand its existing helicopter voice intercom system on the Landing Platform Amphibious (LPA) ships for the Australian Navy over the next six months. This contract will see upgrades of both the LPA ships providing the Australian Navy with an increased capability. Redflex has existing Navy systems in service with the Anzac Frigate and Collins Class submarine projects.
Redflex has also secured a contract with the US Department of Defense, Deployable Joint Command and Control (DJC2) Program Office. The DJC2 program is to provide a common command and control platform to US Joint Task Forces wherever they may be deployed. Successful performance of the Switchplus system is expected to lead to additional opportunities within the DJC2 program.
Peter Harrison, the General Manager of Redflex Communications Systems said: “This is our third contract with the US Department of defence in the past six months. Within three months Redflex will have Switchplus equipment installed and commissioned at Ft McPherson Georgia, with the Secure Conference System, and this Deployable Communications system with the DJC2 in Hawaii.”
The rapidly deployable communications system is a new product based on Redflex’s standard Switchplus® hardware and software and provides users, with minimal effort, the ability to establish command centres wherever a defence force is deployed. Redflex is actively working with other US Government agencies and international defence forces with similar requirements and expects a strong demand for this product.
Switchplus® is the core product of Redflex Communications Systems and is used in Air Traffic Control, Military Operations Centres and other Command and Control and Public Safety applications around the world. Redflex Communication Systems, with facilities in Melbourne, Australia and the Washington, DC area of the USA, is a leading communications systems integrator for transportation, defence and public safety application worldwide.
