Defence says Phase 1 provides the core IAMD architecture, with four CEA-built radars and an operator evaluation environment feeding the design.

Naval SystemsAegis Combat SystemShipboard integrated combat systemThe Aegis Combat System is Lockheed Martin's shipboard combat system for U.S. Navy cruisers and destroyers. It integrates sensors, radar, displays, command-and-control, and weapons into a single detection-to-kill architecture for simultaneous air, surface, and missile defense, including the sea-based Aegis ballistic missile defense role.

Aircraft & UAVsF-16 Fighting FalconMultirole fighter aircraftThe F-16 Fighting Falcon is a U.S.-designed single-engine multirole fighter used for air defense, air-to-air combat, suppression support, and precision strike missions. Israel operates Barak-family F-16C/Ds and the F-16I Sufa, and IDF imagery during the Israel-Hamas War showed Israeli F-16s taxiing to conduct strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza on October 15, 2023.

Naval SystemsHobart-class air warfare destroyerGuided-missile destroyerThe Hobart-class air warfare destroyer is Australia's three-ship Aegis-equipped guided-missile destroyer class, based on Navantia's F100 frigate design and built by the Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance in Australia. The class is centered on air defense for accompanying ships, land forces, and coastal infrastructure while also carrying a helicopter, anti-ship missiles, and undersea-warfare systems.

Naval SystemsIntegrated Combat SystemScalable naval combat management systemLockheed Martin's Integrated Combat System is a scalable, netted combat management system for the U.S. Navy's surface fleet. It uses common software and compute infrastructure to speed fleetwide capability delivery, and Lockheed Martin says ICS-enabled baselines extend proven Aegis integrated air and missile-defense capability.

Air DefenseMIM-104 PatriotLong-range surface-to-air and ballistic missile defense systemThe MIM-104 Patriot is a U.S.-origin, truck-mobile air and missile defense system built around phased-array radar, command-and-control vehicles, launchers, power generation, antenna masts, support vehicles, and PAC-2 or PAC-3 interceptor families. Developed from the 1960s SAM-D program, it evolved from aircraft defense into a high-value air and missile defense layer used in Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Yemen, Ukraine, and Gulf base defense.
