The Australian Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defence System is a group of systems and procurement projects that will aim to defend Australia against air and missile attacks from a would-be adversary.

Army Projects - LAND 19 - SHORAD[edit]

See also: National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS-3)

Land 19 Phase 7B - Short Range Ground Based Air Defence (SHORAD)[edit]

Air Force Projects[edit]

AIR6500 - Joint Air Battle Management System (JABMS)[edit]

[1]

AIR6502 Phase 1 - Medium Range Ground Based Air Defence (MRGBAD)[edit]

The Government issued a request for proposals for MRGBAD in 2021, and it received first pass approval in August 2023.[2]

The aim of MRGBAD is to create a medium-range air defence capability within the Joint Air Battle Management System (JABMS) that will have the ability to engage targets out of range of the SHORAD capability.[2]

American-Israeli David's Sling bid[edit]

In 2023, a joint American-Israeli bid was put forth for the MRGBAD system.[3] The bid was for the David's Sling (Hebrew: קלע דוד, romanized: Kela David) system[d]. SkyCeptor has a range of 200-300km range, and is manufactured by Israeli state-owned company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.[4] The SkyCeptor system was proved useful during the 2024 Iranian attack on Israel, wherein the multi-tiered system (much like the Australian system intends to be), shot down more than 140 Iranian hypersonic and supersonic ballistic and cruise missiles.[5]

AIR6503 Phase 1 - Advanced High Speed Missile Defence (AHSMD)[edit]
