Stories for the defence and security industries and our local community.
Modern armed forces can be deployed to some of the most challenging and unpredictable locations on the planet. To keep functioning efficiently, they need the support of high-quality medical care delivered in a secure and hygienic setting.
For over three decades Saab has had a profound impact on Australia’s defence capability. Most notably providing the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) with its own world-class naval combat management system – the backbone of Australia’s defence independence.
A legacy of leading combat management systems development, integration and delivery, coupled with the unique experience and understanding of Australian defence requirements, Saab has now designed, developed and locally manufactured its Multi Function Console (MFC) as the keystone hardware solution enabling the operation and management of complex systems.
Saab Australia has today launched its global Deployable Health Capability Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Melbourne – creating sovereign capability and unlocking export opportunties for local industry.
Through our bespoke, structured approach, Saab’s deployable medical offering can help fill health service gaps in Australia’s remote communities. Saab’s deployable healthcare solutions are modular and adaptable, delivering solutions consistent with international and national standards of acuity and medical response capability.
Our integrated security platform, OneView, is a flexible solution with a proven ability to meet these challenges. Installed in over 50 sites across Australia, OneView is a vendor-agnostic, open-systems integration platform used across a range of industries, including healthcare, correctional facilities, defence bases, public infrastructure and more.
Saab Australia (Saab) continues its growth in the Space domain, employing a combination of highly transferable command and control capability along with local innovation to expand Australia’s sovereign space capabilities - a key priority for both State and Federal governments.
Saab Australia has welcomed 21 new recruits in fields ranging from Mechatronic Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science and Software Engineering, of which 4 have previously worked at Saab as part of the summer internship program.
Our 12 week paid internship program gives undergraduates the opportunity to experience what it will be like to practice their profession and work alongside industry leaders across the defence and security sectors.
“Working together, we can maximise the exciting opportunities for further collaboration between the Commonwealth, defence primes and local industry and we can ensure the delivery of highly complex, innovative and advanced capability in Australia, to our defence force for the protection of our nation and its future.”
