Submarine treaty signed NEW
TENDERS IN BRIEF
Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon has met
with US counterpart, Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates, to discuss capability,
international security issues, joint operations
and opportunities for enhanced cooperation.
At the meeting Mr Fitzgibbon and
Secretary Gates signed the Harold E. Holt
Treaty, which extends the existing cooperation
between Australia and the United
States on the Harold E. Holt Naval
Communication Station located at Exmouth
in Western Australia.
The Harold E. Holt station provides
communications for US and Australian
submarines.
The Station was first commissioned in
1967 and in May 1999 Australia took
responsibility for the facility. This new treaty
sets out the terms and conditions for the joint
use of the Station for the next 25 years.
The remainder of the Minister’s program
in Washington included discussions with
several US Congress members on Defence
and International security issues, current
operations, interoperability and the AsiaPacific.
Admin centre complete
Parliamentary Secretary for Defence
Support, Dr Mike Kelly, has officially opened
the Personnel Administration Centre (PAC) in
Raymond Terrace NSW.
Local firm Buildev Development NSW
developed the facility which Defence will
lease.
The PAC will pay around 21,000 service
personnel, and will reduce long-term support
costs to Defence by reducing the number of
processing centres required from 45 in 2003 to
just one major centre for processing of military
pay and leave.
“The processing of military pay and leave
entitlements is an area where Defence has been
keen to improve its services, maximise the
NEW TENDERS THIS WEEK 

efficiencies and reduce its overall costs,” Dr
Kelly said.
The centre will accommodate up to 150
Australian Public Service employees and to
date 97 have already been recruited from
outside Defence in the local area.
JSF engine milestone
The GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team
has successfully completed Short Take Off,
Vertical Landing (STOVL) testing on an F136
engine at the GE testing facility at Peebles,
Ohio.
The F136 engine will be available to power
all variants of the F-35 Lightning II aircraft for
the US military and eight partner nations,
including Australia.
The Fighter Engine Team also announced
that it has received first deliveries of front fan
frames from Magellan Aerospace in Canada,
and key work packages from Dutch companies
DutchAero and Atkins Nedtech.
All engine test objectives were reached as
planned in the Peebles testing as the engine
was configured in a variety of modes, leading
to STOVL testing with common hardware
systems for the F-35.
Testing also included the advanced controls
architecture, which was demonstrated
successfully in closed-loop mode operation.
This important milestone was reached with the
controls system developed under the Fighter
Engine Team’s ongoing System Development
and Demonstration (SDD) contract.
The Fighter Engine Team’s recent tests were
conducted with F136 engines originally
produced during the pre-SDD contract. Since
then, the powerplants have been updated with
new fan, augmentor and controls technology
designed during the SDD process.
The first full SDD engine is scheduled to
begin testing in early 2009, with first flight in
the F-35 to follow in 2010.

DACS/2008-07/01 SUPPLY OF SECURITY RISK AND TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING
SERVICES 11 AUGUST
- Registration of Interest
Defence Support Group seeks registrations of interest from experienced suppliers in the security and
consulting market to provide a variety of services to the Directorate of Access Control and Security.
Specifically, the security risk and technology services provider(s) will be involved in the review of the
electronic security measures applied to the storage facilities for weapons and explosive ordnance
across the Australian Defence Force.
The project timeframes will be developed in more detail once the responses to the ITR have been
evaluated. For planning purposes it is anticipated that stages 1-5 will be completed within FY 08-09
Defence, under the coordination of Joint Logistics Command (JLC), has embarked on a broad ranging
program related to the management of weapons and explosive ordnance (W&EO), including the
implementation of the Recommendations from the Weapons, Munitions and Explosives Security
Performance Audit report. The Vice Chief of the Defence Force is chairing the Project Board to oversee
the implementation of these Recommendations.
As a part of this project, the Defence Support Group (DSG), Directorate of Access Control and Security
(DAC&S) will conduct a Security Risk Assessment (SRA) of the facilities (armouries & magazines)
housing W&EO across Australia. DAC&S is specifically responsible for the implementation of
Recommendation 13 from the Report. This recommendation refers to the enhancement of W&EO
storage site physical security measures ie. the technology employed to secure Defence’s armouries
and magazines only. The broader security aspects of policy, procedures, accounting, personnel,
training etc are being addressed as separate sub-projects within the overall umbrella of the W&EO
project being led out of JLC. Similarly, the broader issue of the security of the entire Defence site (eg.
Base, Unit etc) is not within the scope of this SRA process. However, information and lessons learnt
will be used to inform such an activity (where applicable) .

The intent of this RFI is to gather information for the purpose of determining if a suitable replacement
is available for obsolete voice/data communications equipment. As part of the Air Defence Ground
Systems that GTESPO manage at various sites around Australia, is an integrated voice/data exchange
