Saab wants to give military operators a better way to track developments in space and coordinate their response with its new Allied Mission System (AMS).
The cloud-based software platform combines data from integrated sensors and connected technologies, analyzes the information, and delivers actionable insights to operators.
AMS is designed to provide continuous command and control, allowing operators to coordinate different assets and assign systems to work together across missions.
With its open architecture, the software could support future multi-domain operations by connecting capabilities across different operational domains.
“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,” Saab Australia Managing Director Andy Keough said.
“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.”
Modular Design Enables Faster Upgrades
According to Saab, AMS is built from separate modules, allowing operators’ software, data-collection tools, and systems that act on the data to be upgraded independently.
This modular design could also allow new capabilities to be added more quickly as threats evolve, without requiring the entire platform to be upgraded at once.
“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,” said Chris Picton MP, South Australian Minister for Defence and Space Industries.
