First revealed at DSEI 2023, Saab's Australian led and delivered Future Operator Workspace will be on display in Sydney at Indo-Pacific, where visitors will be able to experience it for themselves.
The operator combat console provides a distinct presentation of the tactical and operational environment and optimises the operators’ ability to process complex cognitive decisions in an instant. Its characteristics reduce operator mental load and fatigue, and enable increased reaction times, saving valuable seconds in critical situations.
“The Future Operator Workspace is another example of Saab leveraging its world class expertise and partnering with Australian industry to design and develop innovative new products which can be integrated into the global supply chain,” said Saab Australia Managing Director, Andy Keough.
“A global collaboration leveraging extensive R&D, this complete evolution of the naval operator combat console was conceptualised, developed and manufactured in only eight months – working with leading industrial design academia at the University of South Australia and Adelaide manufacturing specialists Mitchell & Cheesman.”
Working closely with industry partners, including SAGE Automation, Saab’s locally designed and manufactured Multi-Function Consoles are supplied to the Royal Australian Navy and exported to defence forces around the world.
