Future partnership and OneSKY

• The current Airservices and Defence ATM systems have served Australian airspace users well for many years, but have limited interoperability and separate regulatory systems

• Once in a generation opportunity – both the Australian military and civilian air traffic management systems are approaching their end of life and require replacement

• Both Airservices and Defence will need to complete system replacement with minimal disruption to industry
