The Minister for Defence Industry, the Hon Melissa Price MP has today announced the award to Cirrus of a new contract to expand the TACEW System that Cirrus successfully delivered to the RAN's School of Maritime Warfare at HMAS Watson in May this year.
Under the newly awarded contract, Cirrus will supply additional TACEW workstations to HMAS Watson, and supply a new TACEW system to HMAS Stirling.
Minister Price's announcement notes that the new contract awarded to Cirrus "proves advanced, world-leading technology can be delivered by Australian businesses" and further states "Small businesses like Cirrus are an example of how our defence industry is maturing and developing cutting-edge technologies that in days gone by would have been delivered by international companies."
 
In welcoming Minister Price’s remarks, Cirrus’ Managing Director Mr. Peter Freed stated : “Cirrus is pleased to continue working with the RAN on Electronic Warfare simulation training capability, both through the additional TACEW capability to be provided under this new contract, and through the ongoing engineering services Cirrus provides under the existing TACEW support agreement."
