Five companies will join the new JOSCAR supply chain system.
“JOSCAR will enable Northrop Grumman to access Australian Suppliers through one platform and provide them with tangible opportunities to establish sovereign capabilities for the benefit of the Australian industrial base,” said Northrop Grumman Australia's Managing Director, Deanne Barnett.
JOSCAR launched in Australia in June 2024. It has since been adopted by the Commonwealth’s Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group.
“The adoption of JOSCAR represents an important step forward for Austal in aligning with best practices across the Defence sector. We look forward to working alongside our peers to maximize the platform’s potential and drive continuous improvement in supply chain management," stated Austal’s Head of Strategic Supply Chain, Brent Carey.
