This extension continues support to the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force deployed nodes which KBR has provided since 2021.

KBR announced that it will be providing an additional two years of support to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) through the sustainment of Deployed Information Communications Technology (ICT).
The contract also includes ongoing sustainment and support to the navy through the Fleet Information System or ‘MINERVA’ being delivered by SEA2273. This builds on the company’s strong performance in delivering ICT hardware, software, sustainment and specialist communication services to Defence.
Supporting the ADF’s deployed platforms presents a unique information management challenge and requires computer networks that can remain effective even in low bandwidth or congested communications environments.
Deployed ICT network environments provide essential command, control, situational awareness and allied/partner interoperability services for ADF personnel serving on deployed operations and exercises and includes troops in the field, ships at sea and joint headquarters and support bases deployed domestically, regionally and across the globe.
