• Recent operational experience has highlighted the needfor a focused approach to the development, adaption and
integration management of soldier combat systems.
• The Australian Defence Force is seeking a moreresponsive and ‘adaptive acquisition’ approach, whereby
rapid feedback and modification of equipment should beadopted to meet the Force Generation cycle.

• A virtual organisation comprising agencies involved insoldier combat systems (SCS):
– Modernisation & Strategic Planning Army, CapabilityDevelopment Group, Defence Materiel Organisationand Defence Science and Technology Organisation.
• Is based around the Integrated Soldier SystemsDevelopment Directorate in Land Systems Division:
– Soldiers, Engineers, Project Managers, Scientists.
• Facilitates and coordinates the collaboration of theagencies in defining and delivery SCS capabilities.
• Diggerworks is not Land 125 rebadged.

• Development – Continually improve SCS. Find solutions thatenhance the performance of the soldier.
• Systems integration - The soldier is an integrated system, not anaggregation of individual components (remove the Christmas treeeffect).
• Configuration management - Army, through the Integrated Soldier
Systems Development Directorate, has informed control over soldiercombat system.
• Modernisation - Develop the requirements of the future soldiersystems within the context of Army's force modernisation objectivesand Defence capability development plans. Land 125 Phase 4.

• A concept that supports the continual
development, design and/or procurement ofequipment to enhance the capability of thecombat soldier.
• In terms of SCS this is based on a ‘refresh’
concept where current close combat capabilitiesare upgraded through industry innovation,technological advances, and in-house solutions.

Adaptive Acquisition
• ‘Buy less more often’.
• Enable change to happen quicker.• No longer is everyone to be equipped
the same.
• The close combatant is to be treateddifferently.

TBAS Design Methodology
• Design conducted as an iterative development.
• All development work driven by input from the soldiers.
• All major design decisions must be evidence based andcleared by a Design Review Board made up ofrepresentatives from each of the units participating in theuser trials.
• All user trials to be managed by an independent authority.
• Pre production samples to undergo a soldier reviewbefore production is approved.
