• Purpose:

– Industry are the subject matter experts – Defence wants your good ideas!

– Generating innovative capability-effect options for Defence (including

indicative costs)

– Opportunity for Industry to influence Defence considerations

– Validate assumptions

• Minimise developmental risks

• Maximise Australian Industry Capability

LAND8120 Scope

Aim

5

• To provide a replacement capability effect for the Australian Defence Force earth moving and material handling engineer support platforms.

LAND8120 Scope

Strategic Drivers

6

• Capability delivery innovation. Seek innovative mechanisms to “acquire” and renew/replace the capability effect

• Commercially available. Minimise developmental work and maximise leverage of proven designs

• Through-life support innovation. Align Defence with industry best practice for fleet management, supportability, inter-operability and training solutions, and to cater for technology growth and updates through-life

• Value for Money. Optimise whole of life costing, including acquisition and long-term sustainment

LAND8120 Scope

Strategic Drivers

7

• Supportability. Increase reliability, operational availability and value for money, including through maximising:– Commonality, across the platform variants

– Rationalisation of variants, by where practical selecting multi-task platforms that are capable of satisfying a range of requirements

• Local industry involvement. Maximise Australian Industry Capability where providers have proven track records and demonstrable capability/capacity

• Materiel System Innovation. Opportunities on select platforms: – better protect vehicle operators, including through ballistic protection, and

autonomous and/or robotic systems

– the use of simulation systems in planning, and operator and maintainer training

LAND8120 Scope

Future Capability

8

• Approaches to be investigated, including:

– traditional Defence ownership and maintenance

– long-term lease

– short-term hire

– contracted fleet management

– out-sourced sustainment or

– a combination
