As part of Project SEA1442 Phase 5, BMT and Boeing Defence Australia are collaborating to give the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) a cutting-edge maritime communications system.
To improve capacity to exchange wireless information, the teaming partners will provide the RAN with an integrated, interoperable and resilient infrastructure.
The RAN will receive a flexible system with cutting-edge, ever-evolving technology to satisfy their needs in the ensuing decades thanks to Boeing’s expertise in creating sophisticated communication systems for the deployed military environment and BMT’s proven competence in maritime engineering.
Boeing Defence Australia Vice President Scott Carpendale said, “Our collaborative partnership offers a seaworthy, sovereign communications system that will enable Navy to fight and win at sea.”

Carpendale added that their approach offers the Navy the chance to join a system that is fully integrated across the Australian Defence Force and has access to coalition interoperability.
“The combination of Boeing’s fielded technology, collaborative development approach and BMT’s maritime design expertise, technical assurance and extensive knowledge of RAN platforms will ensure the rapid delivery of this combat-ready communications capability,” he said.
The design and network experience of Boeing Defence Australia, the Prime Systems Integrator, has been operationally demonstrated across networked operations in denied, degraded, interrupted and limited bandwidth settings in several domains.
