“Informing situational awareness to aid critical decision making and reduce operational risk”

The goal of the Network Enabled Army Programme is to provide better support to deployed land forces by improving command and control systems, communications and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sensor systems. Transmitting real time information across large distances and over challenging terrain the network will link leaders and soldiers with their systems, joint forces and partners. This connectivity will provide a clear and current picture of the dispositions of people and assets which will in turn enable better planning and decision making; which will help keep people safe.

Night Vision Equipment

A Rolling Capability Refresh programme:

• intended to sustain credible night-fighting capability,

• funded per annum and delivered in annual tranches,

• provisioning pan-NZDF outputs including SOF.

Challenges include:

• maintaining appropriate, but affordable, interoperable capability

• synchronising the NVE refresh rate with technology improvement rates,

• streamlining the surveillance target acquisition and night observation (STANO) inventory,

• closing the industry/practitioner knowledge gap.

Soldier Modernisation & SPPE

A Rolling Capability Refresh programme:

• intended to sustain credible protection, mobility and sustainability requirements of the individual soldier in an expeditionary or coalition context,

• funded per annum to systematically refresh current capabilities,

• includes ballistic protection, does not include weapons, communications or STANO.

Challenges include:

• maintaining interoperability standards across alliances,

• actively managing size, weight and power complexity,

• integrating sub-systems capabilities as well as integrating with other land combat systems,

• closing the industry/practitioner knowledge gap,

• allowing industry to provide integrated solutions rather than discrete items of equipment.

Commercial Initiatives

• Exploring syndicated/AoG agreements across a number of enabling capabilities (trailers, generators, …..)

• Simplify the requirements system – benefits the tenders process on non-complex projects i.e. non-platform

• Early engagement with industry• Helping to define our requirements

• What does the market have

• Listening to industry rather than talking at you

• NZDF Strategic Partners: Understanding them and exploring alignment for TLS should be considered
