LAND 19 Phase 7B project is seeking enhancements to, or replacement of, the Ground Based Air Defence capability. It will build upon the extant GBAMD ‘Sense and Warn’ (S&W) Force Protection capability procured under LAND 19 Phase 7A. It will absorb the Phase 7A Counter-Rockets, Artillery and Mortar (RAM) ‘S&W’ functionality into a GBAMD Force Protection capability that will be able to sense, manage and mitigate threat weapon and sensor effects.

Defence envisages that the solution to LAND 19 Phase 7B will consist of:

* A sensor suite (may include multiple, different types of sensors)
* An effector suite (may include multiple, different types of effectors)
* A Command, Control, Communications, Computing and Intelligence (C4I) system that links sensors, effectors and integrates with the broader ADO

The GBAMD sensor and effectors will be managed by a C4I system that will be capable of operating autonomously and/or within a joint/coalition air and missile defence network. This capability will provide greater fidelity in joint and coalition airspace and contribute to Australian Defence Organisation (ADO) airspace management and air/land integration.
