Powerful Combat Capability
The ability to rapidly interpret and act on complex information in combat can define mission success. AusCMS equips crews to detect threats, make informed tactical decisions and effectively engage the enemy—significantly enhancing survivability and mission outcomes.
AusCMS is an open architecture combat management system engineered for seamless integration across complex naval, littoral and joint environments. Built to interface with a wide range of sensors, effectors, communications network and external command systems, AusCMS enables rapid capability insertion without vendor lock-in.
AusCMS serves as the sophisticated brain of the modern warship, integrating sensor data and giving operators timely access to complex information that enhances operational effectiveness.
As part of the global 9LV product family, AusCMS benefits from Saab’s worldwide systems-integration expertise. At the same time, it is uniquely Australian, designed and developed in-country over more than three decades to meet the specific requirements of the Royal Australian Navy.
AusCMS delivers proven and agile combat capability for both crewed and optionally crewed vessels.
With global responsibility for AusCMS design and development based in Australia, the system can be precisely tailored for different ships and missions at any time. Its open architecture enables continuous update and upgrade, ensuring the system remains at the forefront of combat management technology and its modular design reduces integration risk, accelerates platform delivery and provides sovereign control over future capability evolution
