Minister for Defence Senator David Johnston has recently opened Saab’s Advanced Maritime Systems Centre in Adelaide.

Based in Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, the Advanced Maritime Systems Centre is located next to other key Defence research and development hubs, including the Defence Science and Technology Organisation’s offices at Edinburgh and the University of South Australia.

The Advanced Maritime Systems Centre will employ over 100 home-grown Australian combat systems engineers, project managers, and software engineers.

This is planned to expand to over 200 employees by 2020.

The Advanced Maritime System Centre will make a significant contribution in terms of revenue to the South Australian economy over the next decade.

The Advanced Maritime Systems Centre will include Saab Australia’s 9LV Combat Management System Development and Integration program, Submarine Ship Control Systems Laboratory, Training and Simulation Node, Future Combat Systems Laboratory, and Missile and Fire Control Systems Laboratory which is the only facility of its kind in Australia.
