Saab has launched the Allied Mission System, a cloud-based platform that brings space domain awareness, mission management and command and control together so that operators can watch and respond to activity in orbit, according to the company.
The system fuses data from integrated sensors and third party assets, runs automated analysis to produce decision support, and gives operators the means to coordinate assets, task systems and manage missions. Its modular architecture lets data services, mission services and applications evolve separately, and it is built to integrate later with wider multi-domain operations.
Andy Keough, managing director of Saab Australia, said: “Almost everything we do relies on space in some way and we have designed our new AMS platform to give the user the capability to act in this highly congested and contested domain. This innovative and purpose driven technology leverages Saab’s experience delivering trusted multi-domain command and control systems and exemplifies our commitment to ongoing sovereign capability development.”
Chris Picton, the South Australian Minister for Defence and Space Industries, said: “South Australia is the home of the nation’s space industry and Saab’s AMS demonstrates the advanced technologies being developed right here in SA. As space becomes an increasingly important domain for national security, South Australian based companies like Saab are helping develop the sovereign capabilities Australia needs while creating high-skilled jobs and strengthening our defence industry.”
The platform was designed and built in Australia for deployment worldwide and will be sold as software as a service, with customers able to tailor and extend it. Saab already supplies command and control systems for sea, land and air forces across a range of countries.
