Real Capability. Real Advantage.

Our business...

BAE Systems Australia is committed to being a leading through-life capability partner to the Australian Defence Force, optimising Australia's defence across joint, maritime, land and air environments. We combine key skills in engineering and systems integration and are a leading provider of communications, electronic warfare systems, military air support, air defence, mission support segments and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Our strategy, robust processes and engineering and systems integration skills, supported by our 2,700 employees, are designed to meet Defence's evolving requirements. We work to optimise military capability by delivering the most efficient, value for money solutions. We draw on the strengths of our global company to develop capabilities which ensure the protection of Australia and its assets.

As a capability partner, we will strive to anticipate and respond to Australia's needs, working in partnership to deliver capability solutions in the networked environment, both now and in the future.

Our challenge...

Our customer's needs are changing. Defence is driving for enhanced military capability at lower cost and want to deliver this through long-term partnerships with industry.

Today's operational environment is more complex and less predictable than ever. The military is required to deploy at short notice virtually anywhere in the world, fully equipped and with a strong and sustainable supply chain to support expeditionary tasks.

To fulfill this demanding requirement, defence is redesigning its processes, searching for and adopting new ways to deliver precise and decisive military capability with greater agility and responsiveness. This can be achieved, in part, by generating a competitive, sustainable industry base that is responsive to its needs.

Our response...

BAE Systems has risen to the challenge of meeting the needs of the Australian Defence Force in a time of increased international instability and operational tempo. Working closely with our customers we deliver innovative, cost-effective through-life solutions. Our systems are used by service men and women across the globe and we take very seriously the part we play in providing them with the means to do their jobs as effectively as possible.

Our market is no longer one of single suppliers. Our supply chain is a matrix of interconnecting companies working to the same end, drawing on each others' skills and abilities to deliver to our customers the most integrated and sophisticated systems available.

Our culture is one of partnerships and long-term working relationships with suppliers, customers and partners alike. We pride ourselves on creating flexible, entrepreneurial teams with an emphasis on strong team work and seamless performance.

BAE Systems - Supporting Australia's military capability by delivering the most efficient solutions... always.
