What is the Barrukka systemBoeing Defence Australia is offering the Barrukka system, built with operationally proven equipment, to modernise deployed Battlefield Telecommunication Networks (BTN).
Extensive trials and testing, paired with operationally proven components, have provided the solution with the validation required to ensure operational readiness.
The capability will deliver unique operational management and deployment capabilities to meet the needs of deployed forces. Offering an affordable solution that supports operational agility, Barrukka is designed to grow with the needs of the modern land force.
Key featuresKey features of the Barrukka system include:
» An integrated BTN including terrestrial and space bearers, range extension systems, local area systems and a Headquarters on the Move (HQOTM) capability in a modular design that supports operational agility.
