Navy to get new counter-RF capabilities

BAE Systems Australia has received $4.9 million of federal government funding to assist the Royal Australian Navy to develop and demonstrate an innovative technology that will counter radio frequency emitters in hostile and threatening environments.

Known as Project Cuttlefish, the goal of the technology is to enable the RAN to shape, disrupt and inhibit an adversary’s surveillance and targeting of RAN platforms.

“This project is an example of Defence and industry collaborating in the development of an innovative technology to enhance defence capability and protect defence personnel,” said the Minister for Defence Industry, Christopher Pyne.
