Rohde & Schwarz Australia managing director Gareth Evans said: “This work included provision of over 300 CERTIUM radios and ancillaries, CERTIUM VCS as backup voice communications system and CERTIUM management systems for 12 defence aerodromes across Australia.”
“To set up a team and design, deliver and integrate these systems to achieve factory acceptance test milestones in under five months, and subsequently deliver systems for 12 sites over the next 11 months – four of which were subject to a Covid-19 freeze – is a truly admirable feat and I’m immensely proud of their efforts.”
The contract for AGAT project was signed between BAE Systems and Rohde & Schwarz in 2020.
This work is a part of the AIR5431 Phase 3 programme that involved replacing the old Australian military air traffic management system with a new harmonised system at 12 different locations.
