The Australian Army has integrated satellite communication (satcom) systems into some of its Thales Australia Bushmaster 4×4 protected mobility vehicles, the Australian Department of Defence (DoD) said on 3 August.

An undisclosed number of Bushmasters have been equipped with the satcom systems to enable “stable and reliable communication services, even while commanders are on the move in the battlespace”, the DoD said.

The initiative is part of Australia's Project Land 2072 Phase 2B to enhance battlefield telecommunications. Bushmasters integrated with the satcom systems are known as the Protected Mobility Headquarters on the Move variant.

“Enabling brigade commanders to have the flexibility to determine the deployment strategy, the satellite-enabled Bushmasters will also have options such as designating one vehicle as a commander's tech hub while others support specific squadrons,” saidproject manager Dafydd Gwynn-Jonesin a DoD press release.
