Aeronautical Life Support Logistics Management Unit (ALSLMU) manages Aeronautical Life Support Equipment (ALSE), which encompasses:

• Helmets and Oxygen Masks
• Inflatable Life rafts and Vests
• Load Carriage and Restraint Harnesses
• Flares, Radios and Signalling devices for Post Evacuation Survival
• Night Vision Devices

Approximately 80% of ADF ALSE is used by more than one aircraft platform, and is therefore centrally managed. ALSE, which is unique to an aircraft is normally managed along with that platform's other systems.

The ADF clothing capability is delivered by the Clothing Systems Program Office in the Defence Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group. The capability encompasses the vast majority of clothing and accessories worn by Australian Defence Force (ADF) members across Navy, Army and Air Force, and is managed under two programs, being combat clothing and non-combat clothing.

JNT157PH1 was established to replace the aged ADF Aviation Refuelling Vehicles (ARV) and the replacement fleet will consist of:

• 47 High Capacity Tankers (HCT);
• 43 Medium Capacity Tankers (MCT); and
• 10 Hydrant Dispensing Elevating Platform Vehicles (HDEP).

These vehicles will be distributed across RAAF and Australian Army aviation corps (AAvn) National Support Bases (NSB) across Australia and at the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) Butterworth Base. The project acquisition budget is $67.095m with a completion date of Jul 19.

The Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) has been providing the RAN with a short range anti-ship missile defence capability for over 25 years. SEA 1357 Phase 1 will upgrade the 9 Block 1A systems used by the Adelaide class frigates and the 3 Block 1B1 systems used by the Hobart class destroyers to the latest Block 1B2 configuration. This overhaul and upgrade is being undertaken by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Raytheon Missiles System, under Foreign Military Sales (FMS) arrangements with the US Navy.

On 14 December 2018, Defence signed the Head Contract with ASC Shipbuilding Pty Ltd (now known as BAE Systems Maritime Australia, a subsidiary of BAE Systems Australia Ltd) to build the Hunter Class frigates (HCF) under Project SEA 5000 Phase 1.

On 20 June 2024, Defence amended and signed the Head Contract with BAE Systems Maritime Australia to include construction of the first 3 Hunter Class frigates.

SEA 1448 Phase 4B is replacing the SPS-49(V)8 Air Search Radar on the 8 Anzac class frigates with a modern phased array radar.

This project showcases Australian design and integration capability with the new Phased Array Radar technology designed by CEA Technologies in Canberra in conjunction with upgrades to combat systems performed by Saab Systems in South Australia and platform integration design by BAE Systems in Victoria.

Installation of this capability is being conducted during the Anzac Midlife Capability assurance Program (AMCAP).

SEA 1180 Phase 1 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) will replace and improve upon the capability delivered by the thirteen Armidale Class Patrol Boats, by acquiring 12 new vessels. The primary role of the OPV will be to undertake constabulary missions and the OPV will be the primary ADF asset for maritime patrol and response duties. A Competitive Evaluation Process (CEP) commenced in late 2015 and concluded with the signing of a contract with Luerssen Australia on 31 January 2018.

LAND 19 Phase 7B will deliver Army’s new Short Range Ground Based Air Defence system, which will form a component of the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defence (JIAMD) capability.

This project will replace the current Short Range Air Defence (SHORAD) capability, including the RBS-70, as the Army's principal air defence weapon. While the new capability  will be able to operate independently, it will be designed to operate as the inner layer of the broader JIAMD capability.

LAND 121 Phase 3B/5B is delivering medium and heavy field vehicles, modules and trailers as well as the associated support systems. The vehicles will replace the Australian Defence Force's (ADF) Mack and Unimog vehicles which have been in service since the early 1980s, and will enhance performance and protection for the ADF’s logistic support capability by providing uniformity throughout the fleet. 

The project is delivering Combat Radios and ancillary equipment as an upgrade to Land Force. A mature support system for the new generation Combat and Tactical Data Radios will also be established.
