“Rocket warnings saving Diggers” … C-RAM capability goes into service in Afghanistan
The Australian Army’s new Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) capability went into operational service in Afghanistan recently and is already providing effective force protection according to an article published today in The Australian newspaper.
The new C-RAM capability was introduced into service only months after being ordered by the Australian Government. The accelerated acquisition program included generation of an operational concept and statement of requirements in less than three weeks by an integrated Department of Defence and Aerospace Concepts systems engineering team using the Whole-of-System Analytical Framework (WSAF).
The WSAF is an implementation of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and the Defence Architectural Framework (DAF) that is currently being introduced into the Defence requirements organisation, the Capability Development Group. Other programs employing the WSAF include ongoing improvement of the Joint Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (JCIED) capability, replacement of the Army’s fleet of armoured vehicles, and the next-generation Ground-Based Air and Missile Defence (GBAMD) system.
