what happened
Swedish defence group Saab has introduced the Allied Mission System (AMS), a cloud software platform for tracking and responding to activity in orbit. The system combines space domain awareness, mission management and command-and-control functions in one open architecture, pulling in data from multiple sensors and third-party sources.
The platform was designed and built in Australia for global deployment and will be sold as Software as a Service. Andy Keough, Managing Director of Saab Australia, said the product helps users act in a congested and contested domain. South Australia's Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Chris Picton, highlighted the role of the region in building sovereign capability.
