The Australian Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) has signed a contract with BAE Systems Australia Ltd. for the joint supply of five maritime satellite communications terminals.

Announced by the Hon. Greg Combet MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Defence Procurement, he said the maritime satellite communications terminals contract for the Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) and Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) Amphibious Ships programs would result in an estimated direct saving of $20m to the Commonwealth. The $52.9m deal is an extension to an existing contract which has already seen the successful delivery of 14 satellite terminals, on-time, and on-budget.
