First Principles Review

• The Prime Minister and the Minister for Defence announced on 4 April 2014, that Defence would produce a new White Paper to be released in 2015.

• Defence White Papers are the Government's most important guidance about Australia's long-term defence capability. They allow the Government and community to understand the opportunities and challenges for Australia's future defence and security needs.

• A comprehensive consultation process will be conducted to support the development of the White Paper, with input from across Government, industry, the Australian public, Australia's allies and regional partners.

• Submissions closed Wednesday 29 October 2014.• Following the release of the 2015 Defence White Paper, Defence will publish a 10-year Defence

Capability Plan and a Defence Industry Policy Statement to provide defence industry with greater certainty about the Government's key priorities and timeframes.

Defence White Paper

• An initiative designed to ensure Defence is fit for purpose and able to promptly respond to future challenges.

• The First Principles Review Team will make recommendations designed to ensure Defence’s business structures support the Australian Defence Force’s principal tasks out to 2030.

• It will improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of Defence while delivering a more commercially astute and focused materiel acquisition and sustainment capability

• Submissions close Friday 31 October 2014.

• The First Principles Review will take into account all submissions that have been lodged with the Defence White Paper 2015 and the Commission of Audit.

Key Roles and Activities

Soldier Combat System• ‘The equipment used by a

soldier to apply lethal or non- lethal effects, communicate and gain situational awareness, survive, sustain, move and operate as part of a team within the close combat environment’.

Soldier Combat Ensemble• ‘The integrated soldier systems

that are designed to provide protection to individual combatants from physical threats and the environment as well as facilitating an efficient means for an individual to carry Mission Essential Equipment in a close combat environment’.

Diggerworks is to identify options and deliver integrated soldier combat systems solutions in order to enhance the capability of the combatant.

The effects required at subsequent layers provide collective benefits, but still need to be physically integrated with an individual

combatant’s SCE.

Different equipment solutions may be required at different ‘layers’ to allow the

individual to complete their particular role.

SCS Interaction with platforms:Air - Legacy fixed & rotary / C-27 / MRH-90

Land – Legacy / L121 / L400Sea – Legacy / ATG vessels


Adaptive Methodology• Identify the problem or requirement

– From the field– From our allies– From threat analysis – From modernisation concepts

• Analyse options– Technology evaluation – Industry engagement

• Develop or identify the integrated solution– Science and Technology– Design Engineering– Test and Evaluation

• Report to Army and hand off to a Systems Program Office for acquisition.

Integration (Project Support tasks)• LAND 125-3B: SCE• LAND 53-1BR: NFE • LAND 125-3C: weapon ancilliaries• Power requirements for DTCS and BMS-D • JP 2110• PPSS

SCS Configuration Management (on behalf of CM)• Development & endorsement of SCS Baselines

– Understanding of Soldier Burden (size, weight and power)

• Maintenance and development of Soldier Reference Centre

– Emphasis on SCE 15 configurations

– Development & endorsement of CSCMB Processes


Load Sharing Systems Evaluation
