SCOPE
• Government guidance
• Justification
• Development concepts
• Current intent
• Conclusion
SURVIVABILITY OF GROUND
FORCES
• Enhance the survivability of land forces in
combat operations through the provision of
new warfighting systems
• Incrementally replace the Army’s current
combat, combat support and some combat
service support systems
GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE
• Life of type of current land fighting vehicle
systems (M113AS3 and ASLAV) is about 2020
• Commence replacement of some elements of
the system from about 2015
• Year of decision: 2011-14
• Estimated budget: $A1B-1.5B
STRATEGY
Land 400 Phase 1 will commence replacement
of the ADF’s combat team systems from 2015 to
support a more survivable, capable and
interoperable range of land combat options, with
reduced operating costs and sustainable
Australian content, to ensure the Australian
Army remains above regional capabilities and
continues to meet Government expectations
JUSTIFICATION
• Achieve ADF strategic tasks
• Meet future close combat capability requirements
• Control net personnel and operating costs
COMPLEX WARFIGHTING
• Enhance ground combat force survival:
– below the detection threshold
– when the enemy seeks to hide in complex terrain
– in penetrating complex terrain to win close combat
– to create, support, request and/or coord recon-fire actions
– when operating in small groups

SYSTEM NEED STATEMENT
LAND 400 will deliver a future combat vehicle
system consisting of network capable manned and
unmanned ground and air platforms from 2015 with
a superior balance of survivability, knowledge,
lethality, mobility and sustainability that can survive
and win combat in open and complex terrain within
a wide range of environments, in order for Army to
continue to present viable land combat options to
Government.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
• Under development
• Key areas:
– deployment and mobility
– survivability
– lethality
– command, control and ISR
– support and sustainment
SENIOR GUIDANCE
• More analysis needed to pass Troika and 1st Pass
committees
• Understanding required about Army’s shape and
rotation posture
• Total scope of LAND 400 important
• Assessment. Need to find balance between Army
structures, project options and stakeholder preferences
