The Royal Australian Navy's (RAN's) Anzac-class frigate HMAS Perth has been redeployed to its home port of HMAS Stirling in Fleet Base West at Garden Island after receiving upgrades under the Anzac Midlife Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP), the service announced on 29 November.

The vessel has been undergoing the upgrades since 2018. As part of AMCAP, Perth was fitted with the Australia-developed CEAFAR2 L-band radar, which provides the vessel with improved air defence capabilities. The sensor has also been incorporated with an improved identification friend-or-foe interrogator system.

Besides enhanced anti-air defences, Perth has also received enhancements to its propulsion system, combat management system, torpedo self-defence system, communication systems, and crew habitability features as part of the upgrades.

AMCAP is the second major project to be undertaken by the consortium known as the Warship Asset Management Agreement. The consortium comprises SAAB Australia, Naval Ship Management, and the Commonwealth of Australia.
