Upon commencing this project, Aimpoint took a diligent approach to engage all stakeholders involved in Space Enterprise projects, including Australian and U.S. Space Commands and industry partners such as Raytheon Australia. Recognising the need for a structured approach, Aimpoint:
Following the SST project’s success, Aimpoint was tasked with creating a comprehensive Space Enterprise Transition Framework to streamline future projects:
This framework now serves as a foundational tool for CASG, embedding consistent, clear processes within Defence’s space transition projects.
Aimpoint’s next role involved supporting CASG in establishing a framework for the trilateral Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC), designed to provide all-weather, 24/7 tracking and identification of objects in deep space:
Aimpoint’s role ensured that the MOU and subsequent framework would support a seamless transition for DARC, aligned with Australia’s strategic interests.
Leveraging its Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and Group Training Organisation (GTO) expertise, Aimpoint implemented a knowledge transfer initiative to support Defence in upskilling the Australian Public Service (APS) and ADF workforce:
Through this engagement, Aimpoint contributed to establishing resilient frameworks for Defence space projects, reinforcing Australia’s capabilities in space transition management. The Space Enterprise Transition Framework now underpins future Defence contracts, ensuring a robust, consistent approach to managing Australia’s space capabilities. Aimpoint’s mentorship initiative further supports Defence’s independence, equipping the APS and ADF teams with essential skills to manage complex space projects autonomously.
