The new software will help increase the area covered by the radar network in addition to the amount of data collected for the RAAF.

The JORN upgrade will involve the planned migration of the radar network to a modular and scalable framework of open system architecture, which will help improve the reliability and performance of the system.

“The application of rapidly developing technology will help ensure Australia maintains a capability edge and superior situational awareness to ensure our northern approaches are secure.”

This will help deliver quicker and easier system maintenance and upgrades, enabling the radar to be easily integrated with other software.

BAE Systems chief executive Gabby Costigan said: “The application of rapidly developing technology will help ensure Australia maintains a capability edge and superior situational awareness to ensure our northern approaches are secure.”
